Summertime and the bidding is easy.

The annual auction of used government equipment will take place Saturday, June 21, at the Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal Miller Lake yard, 107 Perrin Dr., Fall River.

"We expect to have more than 200 lots of things like graders, snow plows, dump trucks and many other kinds of heavy equipment," said Scott Miller, financial services officer, Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal. "We'll also be selling many lots on behalf of HRM."

A link to the latest list is posted on the department website at www.gov.ns.ca/tran/govservices/govauction.asp . The equipment comes from provincial government departments as well as the Halifax Regional Municipality and private sources.
