1. Even if your organization's plan is to maximize on reuse (ours is, too) or to focus on software, you will receive electronic waste. Included in the application should be a general list of types of electronic that will be accepted and an exhaustive, detailed plan on how they will be dealt with, especially hazardous waste. The list should include but not be limited to: CRTs, motherboards, etc. You DO NOT need to be a recycler, but at this point you need a plan for waste removal. That plan will be the result of considering as many options as possible and going with the most responsbile options. Please note, you do not need to be a Free Geek to call around. We recommend getting in touch with BAN (www.ban.org) for some help with that research. Startups that are not interested in or cannot come up with a comprehensive plan for dealing with their e-waste will not make it past this point. 2. Is the plan comprehensive and acceptable?
