FREEHOLD, NJ – The Monmouth County
Board of Chosen Freeholders recently announced that the 2020 Monmouth County
fall surplus auction will begin at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 24 and continue
through 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 27.
“Monmouth County owns vehicles and
equipment, which are no longer in use by the County,” said Freeholder Dominick
DiRocco, liaison to the Department of Finance. “The online surplus auction for
the County is a tremendous way to bring in revenue that will directly save
taxpayers money.”
Surplus items from the County’s
Fleet Services, Reclamation Center, Buildings and Grounds, Parks, Sheriff’s
Office and Prosecutor’s Office will be sold.
Items for sale may be inspected
between the hours of 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 26 and Tuesday, Oct. 27 by
appointment only. To schedule an appointment at the Monmouth County Reclamation
Center at 6000 Asbury Ave., Tinton Falls contact John Jackowski at 732-890-5191.
To schedule an appointment at the Department of Public Works and Engineering
Complex at 250 Center St., Freehold contact Mark Pajor at 732-431-7290 ext.
7299. Facial mask coverings are required and all COVID-19 State Laws and
Regulations will be adhered to while on County property.
For any questions, bidders may
contact the Monmouth County Division of Fleet Services at 732-431-7830 for the
representative, Dennis Szostek, at ext. 4891.
“Conducting the auction online
allows for participants from other states to bid on our surplus,” said
Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone, liaison to the Department of Public Works
and Engineering. “Having the auction online not only generates more bidders,
but also helps cut back on staffing for set up and security, resulting in
savings on labor costs.”

holidays, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. by appointment only. Please
