Speak Up: Delaware state surplus store now in Smyrna

Posted

When you look around your house and find a lot of things you don’t use anymore, you may hold a yard sale or post items online. The state of Delaware does the same thing, but it has a special department to take care of surplus. Delaware Surplus Services recently relocated from Delaware City to northern Smyrna, opening a new showroom and sales lot filled with items once used by many of the state’s agencies that now need new homes.

There aren’t a lot of ways to sugarcoat it: 2021 was bookended by COVID-19. In January, we saw our first mass-vaccination sites, with taillights leading the way, as Delawareans lined up for their first dose. This month, we’re seeing lines at COVID-19 testing sites, as the omicron variant spreads nationally. Readers made those the top stories online.

  • Get vaccinated and stop being hardheaded! You’re literally killing each other! — Rick Reed
  • How exactly? The vaccine does not stop the virus from spreading or you getting infected. — Bob Hice
