Request for Scrap of Office Chairs

Company Leadership: Some of the office chairs purchased by our unit in 2016 have suffered severe damage due to long-term use and can no longer meet normal office needs. We hereby apply for scrap disposal. The details are as follows:

I. Damage Situation Upon inspection, a total of 50 chairs need to be scrapped, including 30 in the office area and 20 in the conference room. The main types of damage include:

1. Seat Cushion Damage: The surface material is cracked or collapsed, unable to bear weight;
2. Armrest Breakage: Plastic or metal components have fallen off, affecting safety;
3. Leg Deformation: The chair legs are bent or broken, leading to poor stability;
4. Backrest Damage: The support structure is damaged, unable to provide effective support.

II. Causes of Damage

1. Excessive Service Life: Some chairs have been in use for nearly five years, exceeding their normal service life (usually 3-5 years);
2. High-Frequency Use: With a large number of employees, the chairs are used for more than 8 hours a day on average, accelerating wear and tear;
3. Insufficient Maintenance: Some employees have not paid attention to daily maintenance (such as avoiding heavy pressure and regular cleaning), leading to aggravated damage;
4. Quality Defects: Some chairs had material or workmanship issues at the time of purchase, shortening their service life.

III. Necessity for Scrap

1. Improve Efficiency: Damaged chairs affect employees' sitting comfort and reduce work efficiency;
2. Enhance Image: Old and worn-out furniture affects the cleanliness of the office environment and is not conducive to displaying the corporate image;
3. Ensure Safety: Broken or deformed chairs pose a risk of tipping over and may cause injuries to employees;
4. Save Costs: The cost of repairing a single chair is about 200-300 yuan, and the effect is limited. It is more economical to replace them with new chairs.

IV. Disposal Plan

1. Inventory and Registration: Number and photograph the scrapped chairs and establish a disposal list;
2. Environmentally Friendly Recycling: Contact qualified recycling companies for disposal to avoid pollution caused by indiscriminate disposal;
3. Purchase and Update: Plan to purchase 50 new chairs (budgeted at 500 yuan per chair, totaling 25,000 yuan) to ensure quality meets national standards.

V. Funding Application The funding source is the unit's office expenses. The 'Scrap Disposal List' and 'Technical Appraisal Report' have been attached for review.

Approval Request Items

1. Approve the scrap of damaged chairs;
