What are the two options for the disposal of an asset if resale is not possible?

Post by answerhappygod »

Disposal of an asset is the final stage in the decommissioning process of a fixed asset. When a fixed asset reaches the end of its useful or cost effective life time within an organization, the decision is made as to whether it should be removed from the premises or disposed off.
If the asset is truly at the end of its life, no longer fit for purpose, not cost effective to repair and is not able to be exchanged, then disposal is the only option; there are two options for disposal;

1) Take the asset to land fill site

2) Taking the asset to a recycling plant.
