Uniform unclaimed property act.

RCW 63.29.020<http://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=63.29.020>


(1)   Except as otherwise provided by this chapter, all intangible property, including any income or increment derived therefrom, less any lawful charges, that is held, issued, or owing in the ordinary course of the holder's business and has remained unclaimed by the owner for more than three years after it became payable or distributable is presumed abandoned.

(5) This chapter does not apply to used clothing, umbrellas, bags, luggage, or other used personal effects if such property is disposed of by the holder as follows:
(a) In the case of personal effects of negligible value, the property is destroyed; or
(b) The property is donated to a bona fide charity.

Subject: [LIBRARYDIR] Lost and Found Policy?

Hello, All,
The Library is the Lost and Found site for our campus. Is anyone aware of any WA laws or policies that colleges must follow to dispose of or reuse lost and found items?
Dawn
