They didn't want me taking any of it, even though most of it was working. There were huge power supplies, tons of rack equipment in re-usable cases, test equipment, PC's, UPS's, fiber optic equipment, and much more.
What a tease.

Totally understand you, I had the exact same situation, hundreds of power supplys, scopes, signal generators, and more.
And yes, they didn't want me to take a single thing.

Is the industry security sensitive? What I mean by that is if they are worried about people taking production equipment and shipping it to china to set up assembly lines. I've seen working servo motors worth in excess of $5k USD being cut in two for this reason.

Good point, and less hassle with paper work, ensuring they didn't make a profit on it when giving it away.
