Taking Photos of Your Old Equipment

Overview of how to take photos to meet the disposition requirements of your grant contract and examples of photos.

Photo Guidance

As part of the disposition process, grantees must take photos before and after destroying the old equipment and submit them to us along with the Disposition Form (TCEQ-20447).

Pro Tip: We recommend that you spray paint the area you intend to cut to make it as clearly visible as possible in your photos.
