Lost items are often turned in at city facilities, and eventually enter a carefully curated system managed by Denver’s General Services. Denver's Surplus Warehouse deals with a lot of the city’s vehicles, surplus, and lost and found. To help manage the inventory, buyers from Denver, and across the globe, have an opportunity to participate in public online auctions. General Service's number one goal is to maximize return on investment. This requires efficient, sustainable, transparent, and innovative solutions to move product to the consumer.
