This program makes available to local governments, equipment no longer used or required by United States federal installations and State of Illinois governmental agencies. Vehicles, office equipment, computers, heavy industrial equipment and office furniture encompass only a fraction of the items available. An average of 1,500 State of Illinois surplus vehicles from compact cars to State Police cruisers and large trucks are on site at the Springfield State Surplus warehouse throughout the year for public inspection. A nominal service charge is assessed depending on the age and condition of each item of property to cover overhead costs.
All items are periodically available to the general public at auctions conducted in Springfield.
