Government waste making me sick

[Flyingbrian]

I was given 3 Explorers today that just came off a long term lease. I'm told they were out to the FBI. Units are decked out with more strobes and lights and sirens Than you can imagine. They also have Lund lockable storage units in the rear. We were instructed to remove the equipment so the units can be sold. When asking what I should do with the equipment I was told to throw it away the lessee (The FBI) didn't want it back. I looked up the Lund storage box online it retails for 1950.00 What a waste.

Did you get to fish the cases out of the dumpster???

Good day for some dumpster diving. It's not waste if you snag it and make use of it.

 

[Kutnupe14]

Why not sell the boxes? Do you have the key's/combinations?

 

[Flyingbrian]

One of the boxes was unlocked. That was until by tech decided to turn the knob and lock it. Unfortunately the anti corruption rules at my company will not allow me to sell them or dumpster dive.

I'm going out on a limb that it's less paperwork to throw it away than have it re-installed. At least the total cost was spread amongst 300 million people. (purple implied)

go ahead and send me the coordinates of your dumpster....

private waste sucks too. My uncle worked at Intel in Phoenix and they had a huge outdoor meeting. They built something like a 10,000 sqft deck out of fresh lumber. When it was done they literally ripped it out all out and trashed it. Not disassembled, destroyed.

12 years ago I asked my boss what he was doing with the office furniture for 80 employees,

We where all going to work at home except for 20 employees moving to a smaller office, He said I could have them if I could haul it out. I told a local government agency about it and they used it to upgrade the office furniture at the courthouse. They jumped at at the idea and I saved the company money to move them out.

Bureaucracies create waste.
It's what they do.

Out by the big ol green sign?

I wonder if the FBI started a program like the military's DRMO what the public response would be, and what the cost would be vs the savings.

 

[SnoopLoggyDog]

I have seen the garage where the FBI installs all that stuff into brand new vehicles. It was awesome in it's cleanliness and organization. Senior tech was a laid back guy, decked out in crocs, shorts and mechanics shirt. Looked like a cool gig.

No big ol green sign any more

Flyingbrian:

Your company is missing out on a missed opportunity for essentially free money.

That stuff needs re-sold. Officially...by your company. That stuff would all sell.

But, then, of course, there'd have to be someone in charge of tracking and selling and money... Heck; I'll take a Lund Box! VUPD - pick one up for me, will ya?
