OPW maintains a log of audio-visual equipment, which is located in different OPW locations across the country. The useful life of audio-visual equipment is five years. Where possible, OPW would seek to extend the useful life of such equipment beyond this period. After this period, while equipment is disposed of in a manner determined by local management, this usually involves recycling.
