Recycling

• Recycling, as often thought of, is not
  specifically addressed
• We see it as an agency abandonment/destruction
  (A/D) action
• This is normally after attempts to transfer,
  donate, or sell for use are unsuccessful
• Agencies must document findings for A/D
• Guidance in FMR 102-36.305
