Think of it as quite possibly the world’s biggest yard sale.

There are typewriters, cellphones, fingernail clippers, washing machines, toilet bowls, parking meters, snow blowers, deer hunting stands, rowboats, cars and much, much more.

When the nation’s largest city cleans out its municipal warehouses and storage closets, there is no end of leftovers, hand-me-downs and just plain junk that all has to go.

In fact, the city agency charged with disposing of all this unwanted stuff now runs a massive year-round logistical operation — including more than 1,300 online public auctions annually — to try to find new homes for a hodgepodge of miscellaneous items at the end of their useful government service.

“We’re getting rid of things we no longer have a use for, but someone else can find treasure in,” said Mersida Ibric, a deputy commissioner of the Department of Citywide Administrative Services. “At the end of the day, we’re not trying to make a significant profit at this. We’re just trying to salvage whatever value is left — to make sure it’s not wasted.”
