Municipalities in Brazil are organizing public auctions to sell surplus assets, including vehicles, machinery, and scrap materials, to generate revenue for public investments.

In Osório, the city administration has scheduled an auction for September 4, featuring items such as an asphalt plant, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, buses, trucks, and agricultural equipment. The sale will include various scrap materials, such as electronics and tires, with an estimated total value of approximately R$ 200,000. The auction will be conducted both online and in person.
