Surplus Equipment/Asset(s)

The Town of Salisbury, from time-to-time, has equipment or assets that are deemed to be surplus but may have a retail market value.

  • List a minimum bid price, where applicable;  
  • Provide information, photos, and deadlines for bidding;

  • Successful bidders are responsible for making their own arrangements to pick up sale items. Successful proponents shall be notified of a date limit to collect the surplus equipment, unless noted in the surplus posting.
