This page is an index for files that need to look a certain way when printed out, for example forms and brochures where the page layout is very important. <br />
<br />
There are a variety of applications that can produce these printouts, including Openoffice, Glabels, and Gnumeric. please install the freegeek-deadtrees package in order to ensure that you have them all installed. if you include files on this page that are not supported by the above mentioned programs, please inform one of the [[Technocrats]].<br />
<br />
If there are files listed here that don't need to look a certain way when printed out, they should probably just be moved to a regular wiki page.<br />
<br />
There are some files here that were originally [[Dead trees#html (switch formats):|uploaded]] as postscript files only. (The old system had a place for source files, but some authors did not commit their source files.) In those cases, the postscript file should be used as a basis for re-creating the document using open office or another appropriate application.)<br />

<br />
===Systems at the Bench===<br />
[[Tour of the Bench]] is a guide for staff and interns to use when teaching a volunteer to recycle at the Bench.<br />
<br><br />
[[Basic System Deconstruction]] is a guide that volunteers can use to orient themselves to working at the Recycling Bench.<br />
<br />
===Optical Drives===<br />
This section is for desktop sized CD-ROM and DVD drives. Laptop size drives go into CBM.<br />
*Bins Required:<br />
** Steel <br />
*** Size: Meduim-large<br />
*** Contents: Screws, the flat top plate and the bottom steel shell. <br />
*** QC into: Schnitzer steel bin. <br />
** Circuit boards <br />
*** Size: medium-small<br />
*** Contents: Circuit boards that are green on both sides, with wires removed. <br />
*** QC into: GBM gaylord<br />
** Plastic <br />
*** Size: medium-small<br />
*** Contents: Front Panel/Faceplate, media tray. <br />
*** QC into: E-Plastic gaylord<br />
** "Everything Else", guts, <br />
*** Size: Large<br />
*** Contents: The interior mechanism of the drive which includes plastic, smaller metal pieces, wires and small or low grade circuit boards(brown/tan on one side).<br />
*** QC into: CBM gaylord<br />
** CDs<br />
*** When a cd/dvd falls out of the drive it can be set aside in a pile.<br />
*** QC into: Box of CDs, or return to receiving. <br />
<br />
*How to Teach:<br />
Typically volunteers should start by removing the screws visible on the outside of the drive and the top steel plate. This should expose the main circuit board which should be carefully removed and cleaned of any wires. There is likely to be a second smaller circuit board that can stay on the plastic body of the drive. The large flat-head screwdriver should be used to pry the steel housing from the plastic drive mechanism. This steel shell will usually have a small plastic disc in it's center which can be removed by twisting the large flat head screwdriver between the plastic disc and the large steel housing.<br />
<br />
===Keyboards===<br />
<br />
Total Reclaim is now buying our keyboards whole, with cords removed.<br />
Manually disassembling them would result in a net loss of income.<br />
Keyboards are no longer a standard table task.<br />
6-26-2014 -John<br />
<br />
*Bins Required:<br />
** Hard Plastic<br />
*** Size: Large (low-profile Rubbermaid are a good size & shape)<br />
*** Contents: Keys and outer shell of Keyboard.<br />
*** QC into: E-plastic gaylord, look for keys containing springs or metal parts.<br />
** Steel <br />

*How to Teach: Lift and remove all keys bigger than and including the 'Ctrl' key. Look for any rods or springs underneath these keys. Unscrew any screws holding the keyboard together. Separate the top and bottom. Remove any metal from the plastic, any wires, circuit boards, and the Filmy plastic with the Silver Circuitry. Put rubber pieces in trash-like bin underneath the table. Staff should QC this afterwards before dumping into trash outside.<br />
<br />

*How to Teach: Snip off a corner of the Card, this will allow you to pull off 1 of the metal shells, exposing the Circuit Board (you may find it easier to insert the Screwdriver into the hole created with the Pliers & pry off the shell). Remove the Circuit Board, remove any Battery you find.<br />
*Special Notes: the grade of the Circuit Boards is not finalized<br />
<br />
===Floppy Drives (aluminum chassis only)===<br />
*Aluminum<br />
*Steel (covers, screws, etc)<br />
*Circuit boards (controller card)<br />
*Misc (motors, plastic/steel mix, cable/wire)<br />
<br />
===Heat Sink Fan Combos (ZIF only)===<br />

*Steel (screws, clips, brackets)<br />
<br />
===Hard Drives===<br />
*Bins Required:<br />
** Chassis <br />
*** Size: medium -They get heavy fast <br />
*** Size, special: Milk crates leak and are not recommended for laptop drives or when harvesting magnets. <br />
*** Contents: All parts of the hard drive except for the circuit board including screws and attached foam pads. <br />
*** QC into: HD chassis gaylord<br />
** Circuit Boards<br />
*** Size: medium or Small<br />
*** QC into: Category 3 circuit board barrel <br />
** Trash <br />
*** Size: Trash Cans<br />
*** Contents: loose foam pads and rubber covers<br />
*** QC into: Garbage dumpster<br />
<br />
*Special tools:<br />
** A "HD Toolkit" has been created -contains Torx 6, Torx 4, Phillips 00 for laptop size drives. <br />
<br />
*How to Teach:<br />
** Separate the Circuit board from everything else by removing all screws that are on the circuit board.(other screws are irrelevant unless harvesting magnets) We have a special toolkit for the smaller screws on 2 1/2 inch drives. Once the circuit board is loose it should be cleaned of any foam rubber. The screws and main body of the drive can go into the chassis container.<br />
<br />
*Special Notes: <br />
** We now have the tools required to remove the boards from 2 1/2 inch drives. In the past we have instructed volunteers to pry off the thin circuit boards so that they rip neatly around the screws. The "HD Toolkit" is 1 Torx-6, 1 Torx-4, 1 Phillips #00.<br />
** Hard drives with shattered platters (usually 2 1/2 inch drives) should arrive in a separate container. Give the volunteers a tray to catch the spillage, it can be poured into the chassis container.<br />
<br />
* Alternate method <br />
** Magnet Harvesting:<br />
*** When harvesting magnets from the drive, volunteers should be instructed to skip any difficult or drives. Some drives get warped by the drill and torquing too hard has broken many tools.<br />
<br />
===Laptop Docks===<br />
<br />

*** Contents: Bottom part of Docking station, no further deconstruction needed<br />
*** QC into: Keep in Bin for next stage of deconstruction<br />
<br />
<br><br />
*How to Teach: We have split Laptop Docks into two tasks. The first task involves seperating the top and bottoms of the Docking Station, with no further deconstruction. This allows one volunteer to use (in most cases) 1 size screwdriver for all the docks, instead of using different tools to complete the entire deconstruction.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Advanced volunteer tasks==<br />
===Aluminum Drives===<br />
<br />
Alternate:<br />
Include them with zip drives and simply separate into: GBM and CBM<br />
<br />
<br />
*Bins Required:<br />
** Mid-grade Circuit Boards <br />
** Cast Aluminum<br />
*** Contents: Clean Aluminum chassis with no steel, brass or other bits. <br />
*** QC into: Clean Cast Aluminum Barrel<br />
** CBM <br />
*** Contents: Everything else including: motors, steel/screws, wires, plastic, low grade circuit boards, steel that did not come off pure. <br />
<br> <br />
<br />
*Special tools:<br />
** Power drill if appropriate<br />
** Phillips bit #2 and occasionally #1<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
*How to Teach: <br />
**Stress that with the power drill it is easy to strip screws and that stripped screws make aluminum unclean. <br />
<br> <br />
<br />
*Special Notes: <br />
**John's Experiment<br />
***In one hour of uninterrupted work with the corded power drill I disassembled 21 large 5.25 inch aluminum drives. Smaller drives have low grade boards and more annoying screws. (In John's opinion smaller drives may not be worth the effort.) <br />
<br />
this yielded:<br />
<br> 14 lbs of cast aluminum<br />
<br> 18 lbs of motors<br />
<br> 1.5 lbs of midgrade circuit boards.<br />
<br> 1 lb of junk plastic<br />
<br> unknown quantity of steel that has the aproximate value of CBM<br />
<br> unknown quantity of cbm (steel plastic and wire)<br />
<br><br />
<br />
notes:<br />
I stripped 2 screws which i was able to remove quickly.<br />
I set aside 2 drives that looked like they would require excessive<br />
effort. I'll cbm them or clean them enough for dirty aluminum.<br />
My focus was on separating motors and midgrade circuit boards, I let<br />
everything else that came off of the drive pile up and go into a cbm,<br />
unless it happened to be clean plastic.<br />
<br />
===Battery Sorting and Boxing===<br />
* See [[Sorted Batteries]]<br />
* Ask John or Liane for more details<br />
===Overhead Projectors===<br />
===Power Supplies===<br />
<br />
===Zip and Tape Drives===<br />
The bins are the same as Optical drives. More than 50% of the boards are category 3 GBM because they are practically identical to HD cards. I will occasionally offer these to a volunteer or two at the table while others are doing optical drives, or transition to them after optical drives. A T6 and maybe a PH00 is required.

<br />
===Wood Bearing Material (speakers)===<br />
Typically found on older speakers and A/V equipent, electronic devices with wood attached to them must be separated in order to put the wood in the trash and Recycle any metal, plastic, and in some cases Circuit Boards.<br />
<br />
If wood can be removed simply by unscrewing, you can prepare the items inside the warehouse near the Deconstruction pallet near the Advanced Recycling Incoming sign. You can do this either on the cord cutting cart or on the rolling cart.<br />
<br />
If the wood cannot be removed by unscrewing or gently prying apart from the remaining electronic components or case, it is recommended that a staff member or intern take it outside to be smashed (carefully) with the sledge hammer located behind the Recycling check-in desk. <br />
<br />
Once the wood is removed, it can be placed in the dumpster behind the warehouse on the left as you walk out of the roll up door.<br />
<br />
Remaining components will typically go into CBM.<br />
<br />
===UPSs (Uninterruptable Power Supplies) ===<br />
*Bins Required:<br />
** Cords<br />
*** Size: Large<br />
*** Contents: Cords<br />
*** QC into: Cords Gaylord<br />
** Steel Shell<br />
*** Size: Large<br />
*** Contents: Steel Sshells<br />
*** QC into: Schnitzer Steel Box<br />
** Batteries<br />
*** Name: Square Milk Crates<br />
*** Contents: Batteries<br />
*** QC into: Square Milk Crates<br />
<br />
*Special tools:<br />
** Large Wire Cutters<br />
<br><br />
*How to Teach:<br />
REMOVE THE BATTERY FIRST. Explain that there might still be some charge remaining in the battery, & that cutting the cord will cause sparks & will damage the wire cutters. Explain that there is no risk of getting a shock. Put batteries into the Milk Crates. Cut Cords. If it was neccessary to disassemble the UPS to remove the battery, keep the Steel Shell for the Schnitzer Steel Box.<br />
<br><br />
*Special Notes: <br />
** REMOVE THE BATTERY FIRST! STRESS THIS & WATCH FOR CONFUSION/MISTAKES.<br />
<br />
===Motherboards===<br />
* See [[Motherboard Recycling]].<br />
* See also [[Clean Circuitboards]]<br />
<br />
<br />
====Bench Setup for Motherboards====<br />
*The volunteer group Central City Concern disassembles motherboards every Tuesday morning. The following are instructions for re-configuring the bench in preparation for their arrival. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Supplies =<br />
:these are up above the MoBo/Cards shelves by the windows =<br />
::2 very big pink plastic bins,<br />
::the "MoBo Job Samples" box which contains =<br />
::(the following you might have to scrounge from Recycling (but the box should have been preloaded during last week's cleanup, see "Notes" below) =<br />
:::CD bins (for button batteries) - 6,<br />
:::RAM - 6 to 12 sticks,<br />
:::Slot Procs - 6<br />
:::Button Cell Batteries - 6 to 12,<br />
:::Socket Procs - 6 to 12,<br />
:::Heatsink Aluminum - 6,<br />
:::Fans (from Heatsink/Fan combos) - 6,<br />
:::Plastic Proc/Heatsink brackets.<br />
<br />
<br />
Rolling Steel Cart =<br />
:have volunteers empty it saturday nite,<br />
:install the 2 very big pink bins to hold the MoBos.<br />
<br />
<br />
Non-Magnetic Metal & Small Steel buckets =<br />
:let them be empty, except for a little seeding.<br />
<br />
<br />
BenchTop =<br />
:Red Bucket =<br />
::2 sticks of RAM<br />
::1 Slot Proc<br />
:White Bucket =<br />
::some screws<br />
:CD bin =<br />
::2 ButtonCell Batteries <br />
:yellow bowl (from Recycling) = <br />
::Socket Procs<br />
<br />
UnderBench =<br />
:upper left (Speakers & Fans) bin =<br />
::Fans from Heatsink/Fan combo<br />
:upper right (drives) bin =<br />
::Plastic<br />
:lower left (MoBo) bin =<br />
::steel brackets / small steel<br />
:lower right (MoBo) bin =<br />
::heatsink Aluminum<br />
<br />
<br />
MoBos ready to be processed = <br />
:2 bins on each bench, twixt the workstations, <br />
:2 to 4 more stacked at each end of the bench area, near the systems pile & the Cords gaylord.<br />
<br />
<br />
GBM gaylord =<br />
::if it is more than 1/2 full, swap it out to gaylord country, we'll fill it for sure, & it's easier than having to swap it part way through the MoBo shift, or leaving it for the afternoon shift.<br />
<br />
<br />
Notes:<br />
:We now ask the volunteers to disassemble Slot procs - the Proc can go with RAM; fan, plastic, screws as usual.<br />
:While the volunteers are at lunch convert the bench to the Desktops task. <br />
:::Also this is a handy time to reload the Samples box for next week.<br />
:Batteries = <br />
We do not ask volunteers to remove older "Dallas" style batteries because these batteries too closely resemble IC chips that are soldered<br />
onto the MoBos. Same with cylyndrical batteries - they look too much like capacitors. Removing parts that are soldered onto the board involves breaking the board, which is a safety issue. <br />
<br />
:future changes being considered =<br />
combining RAM & both Proc styles into 1 bin?<br />
<br />

==== Wireless Alliance - cell phones ====<br />
<br />
The Wireless Alliance accepts:<br />
<br />
All cell phones, smart phones, PDA’s, iPods, digital cameras, and iPads regardless of age or condition<br />
Chargers<br />
Rechargeable cell phone batteries<br />
All accessories including: bluetooth, air cards, clips and cases<br />
Paper manuals and plastic packaging<br />
<br />
May 2014 notes from John:<br />
<br />
*Cameras Digital (and film) are being sold to a bulk buyer for an art project. Please deliver these to bulk sales after removing batteries and data cards. Unless they are good enough to reuse through the store, obviously. <br />
*Chargers that are not clearly matched up with a phone: please send them to wherever you would normally send power adaptors.<br />
*Batteries should be left inside of devices. Loose batteries would need to be individually bagged for the wireless alliance, or sent to recycling for further processing.<br />
*Cases, manuals and packaging that appear to be garbage can be recycled or trashed here.<br />
<br />
Historical note:<br />
In her last week, Liane just did a quality control check on a box of cell phones for the wireless alliance.<br />
Liane said that she would like to stop including manuals, cords and power adaptors with the cellphones. The paper can be recycled, the cords/power adaptors can be delivered to recycling staff. We don't get paid for this material, so there is no need to ship it.<br />
Leather or rubber cases can be thrown in the trash.<br />
Loose batteries should never be included in the box, they are a fire hazard. Batteries inside of the devices can stay.<br />
<br />
==== Filmy Plastic ====<br />
* Filmy Plastic (it stretches before it tears),<br />
** Separate Clear from Colored:<br />
*** Clear Filmy goes into Clear plastic bags, Colored goes into Black plastic bags.<br />

===Systems at the Bench===<br />
[[Tour of the Bench]] is a guide for staff and interns to use when teaching a volunteer to recycle at the Bench.<br />
<br><br />
[[Basic System Deconstruction]] is a guide that volunteers can use to orient themselves to working at the Recycling Bench.<br />
<br />
===Optical Drives===<br />
This section is for desktop sized CD-ROM and DVD drives. Laptop size drives go into CBM.<br />
*Bins Required:<br />
** Steel <br />
*** Size: Meduim-large<br />
*** Contents: Screws, the flat top plate and the bottom steel shell. <br />
*** QC into: Schnitzer steel bin. <br />
** Circuit boards <br />

*** QC into: GBM gaylord<br />
** Plastic <br />
*** Size: medium-small<br />
*** Contents: Front Panel/Faceplate, media tray. <br />
*** QC into: E-Plastic gaylord<br />
** "Everything Else", guts, <br />
*** Size: Large<br />
*** Contents: The interior mechanism of the drive which includes plastic, smaller metal pieces, wires and small or low grade circuit boards(brown/tan on one side).<br />
*** QC into: CBM gaylord<br />
** CDs<br />
*** When a cd/dvd falls out of the drive it can be set aside in a pile.<br />
*** QC into: Box of CDs, or return to receiving. <br />
<br />
*How to Teach:<br />
Typically volunteers should start by removing the screws visible on the outside of the drive and the top steel plate. This should expose the main circuit board which should be carefully removed and cleaned of any wires. There is likely to be a second smaller circuit board that can stay on the plastic body of the drive. The large flat-head screwdriver should be used to pry the steel housing from the plastic drive mechanism. This steel shell will usually have a small plastic disc in it's center which can be removed by twisting the large flat head screwdriver between the plastic disc and the large steel housing.<br />
<br />
===Keyboards===<br />
<br />
Total Reclaim is now buying our keyboards whole, with cords removed.<br />
Manually disassembling them would result in a net loss of income.<br />
Keyboards are no longer a standard table task.<br />

<br />
*How to Teach:<br />
** Separate the Circuit board from everything else by removing all screws that are on the circuit board.(other screws are irrelevant unless harvesting magnets) We have a special toolkit for the smaller screws on 2 1/2 inch drives. Once the circuit board is loose it should be cleaned of any foam rubber. The screws and main body of the drive can go into the chassis container.<br />
<br />
*Special Notes: <br />
** We now have the tools required to remove the boards from 2 1/2 inch drives. In the past we have instructed volunteers to pry off the thin circuit boards so that they rip neatly around the screws. The "HD Toolkit" is 1 Torx-6, 1 Torx-4, 1 Phillips #00.<br />
** Hard drives with shattered platters (usually 2 1/2 inch drives) should arrive in a separate container. Give the volunteers a tray to catch the spillage, it can be poured into the chassis container.<br />
<br />
* Alternate method <br />
** Magnet Harvesting:<br />
*** When harvesting magnets from the drive, volunteers should be instructed to skip any difficult or drives. Some drives get warped by the drill and torquing too hard has broken many tools.<br />

Notice: As of now we are auto-recycling Gateway and IBM brand docks unless they have exceptional features such as cd drives or slots for Hard drives or PCMCIA cards.<br />
<br />
*Bins Required:<br />
** Top Section of Dock<br />
*** Size: Medium to Large <br />
*** Contents: Top part of Docking Station, no further deconstruction needed<br />
*** QC into: Keep in Bin for next stage of deconstruction <br />
** Bottom Section of Dock<br />
*** Size: Medium to Large - bottom half of dock is typically heavier than top.<br />
*** Contents: Bottom part of Docking station, no further deconstruction needed<br />
*** QC into: Keep in Bin for next stage of deconstruction<br />
<br />
<br><br />
*How to Teach: We have split Laptop Docks into two tasks. The first task involves seperating the top and bottoms of the Docking Station, with no further deconstruction. This allows one volunteer to use (in most cases) 1 size screwdriver for all the docks, instead of using different tools to complete the entire deconstruction.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Advanced volunteer tasks==<br />
===Aluminum Drives===<br />
*Bins Required:<br />
** Mid-grade Circuit Boards <br />
** Cast Aluminum<br />
*** Contents: Clean Aluminum chassis with no steel, brass or other bits. <br />
*** QC into: Clean Cast Aluminum Barrel<br />
** CBM <br />

<br> <br />
<br />
*Special tools:<br />
** Power drill if appropriate<br />
** Phillips bit #2 and occasionally #1<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
*How to Teach: <br />
**Stress that with the power drill it is easy to strip screws and that stripped screws make aluminum unclean. <br />
<br> <br />
<br />
*Special Notes: <br />
**John's Experiment<br />
***In one hour of uninterrupted work with the corded power drill I disassembled 21 large 5.25 inch aluminum drives. Smaller drives have low grade boards and more annoying screws. (In John's opinion smaller drives may not be worth the effort.) <br />
<br />
this yielded:<br />
<br> 14 lbs of cast aluminum<br />
<br> 18 lbs of motors<br />
<br> 1.5 lbs of midgrade circuit boards.<br />
<br> 1 lb of junk plastic<br />
<br> unknown quantity of steel that has the aproximate value of CBM<br />
<br> unknown quantity of cbm (steel plastic and wire)<br />
<br><br />
<br />
notes:<br />
I stripped 2 screws which i was able to remove quickly.<br />
I set aside 2 drives that looked like they would require excessive<br />
effort. I'll cbm them or clean them enough for dirty aluminum.<br />
My focus was on separating motors and midgrade circuit boards, I let<br />
everything else that came off of the drive pile up and go into a cbm,<br />
unless it happened to be clean plastic.<br />
<br />
===Battery Sorting and Boxing===<br />
* See [[Sorted Batteries]]<br />
* Ask John or Liane for more details<br />
===Overhead Projectors===<br />
===Power Supplies===<br />
<br />
===Zip and Tape Drives===<br />
The bins are the same as Optical drives. More than 50% of the boards are category 3 GBM because they are practically identical to HD cards. I will occasionally offer these to a volunteer or two at the table while others are doing optical drives, or transition to them after optical drives. A T6 and maybe a PH00 is required.

<br />
===Wood Bearing Material (speakers)===<br />
Typically found on older speakers and A/V equipent, electronic devices with wood attached to them must be separated in order to put the wood in the trash and Recycle any metal, plastic, and in some cases Circuit Boards.<br />
<br />
If wood can be removed simply by unscrewing, you can prepare the items inside the warehouse near the Deconstruction pallet near the Advanced Recycling Incoming sign. You can do this either on the cord cutting cart or on the rolling cart.<br />
<br />
If the wood cannot be removed by unscrewing or gently prying apart from the remaining electronic components or case, it is recommended that a staff member or intern take it outside to be smashed (carefully) with the sledge hammer located behind the Recycling check-in desk. <br />
<br />
Once the wood is removed, it can be placed in the dumpster behind the warehouse on the left as you walk out of the roll up door.<br />
<br />
Remaining components will typically go into CBM.<br />
<br />
===UPSs (Uninterruptable Power Supplies) ===<br />
*Bins Required:<br />
** Cords<br />
*** Size: Large<br />
*** Contents: Cords<br />
*** QC into: Cords Gaylord<br />
** Steel Shell<br />
*** Size: Large<br />
*** Contents: Steel Sshells<br />
*** QC into: Schnitzer Steel Box<br />
** Batteries<br />
*** Name: Square Milk Crates<br />
*** Contents: Batteries<br />
*** QC into: Square Milk Crates<br />
<br />
*Special tools:<br />
** Large Wire Cutters<br />
<br><br />
*How to Teach:<br />
REMOVE THE BATTERY FIRST. Explain that there might still be some charge remaining in the battery, & that cutting the cord will cause sparks & will damage the wire cutters. Explain that there is no risk of getting a shock. Put batteries into the Milk Crates. Cut Cords. If it was neccessary to disassemble the UPS to remove the battery, keep the Steel Shell for the Schnitzer Steel Box.<br />
<br><br />
*Special Notes: <br />
** REMOVE THE BATTERY FIRST! STRESS THIS & WATCH FOR CONFUSION/MISTAKES.<br />
<br />
===Motherboards===<br />
* See [[Motherboard Recycling]].<br />
* See also [[Clean Circuitboards]]<br />
<br />
<br />
====Bench Setup for Motherboards====<br />
*The volunteer group Central City Concern disassembles motherboards every Tuesday morning. The following are instructions for re-configuring the bench in preparation for their arrival. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Supplies =<br />
:these are up above the MoBo/Cards shelves by the windows =<br />
::2 very big pink plastic bins,<br />
::the "MoBo Job Samples" box which contains =<br />
::(the following you might have to scrounge from Recycling (but the box should have been preloaded during last week's cleanup, see "Notes" below) =<br />
:::CD bins (for button batteries) - 6,<br />
:::RAM - 6 to 12 sticks,<br />
:::Slot Procs - 6<br />
:::Button Cell Batteries - 6 to 12,<br />
:::Socket Procs - 6 to 12,<br />
:::Heatsink Aluminum - 6,<br />
:::Fans (from Heatsink/Fan combos) - 6,<br />
:::Plastic Proc/Heatsink brackets.<br />
<br />
<br />
Rolling Steel Cart =<br />
:have volunteers empty it saturday nite,<br />
:install the 2 very big pink bins to hold the MoBos.<br />
<br />
<br />
Non-Magnetic Metal & Small Steel buckets =<br />
:let them be empty, except for a little seeding.<br />
<br />
<br />
BenchTop =<br />
:Red Bucket =<br />
::2 sticks of RAM<br />
::1 Slot Proc<br />
:White Bucket =<br />
::some screws<br />
:CD bin =<br />
::2 ButtonCell Batteries <br />
:yellow bowl (from Recycling) = <br />
::Socket Procs<br />
<br />
UnderBench =<br />
:upper left (Speakers & Fans) bin =<br />
::Fans from Heatsink/Fan combo<br />
:upper right (drives) bin =<br />
::Plastic<br />
:lower left (MoBo) bin =<br />
::steel brackets / small steel<br />
:lower right (MoBo) bin =<br />
::heatsink Aluminum<br />
<br />
<br />
MoBos ready to be processed = <br />
:2 bins on each bench, twixt the workstations, <br />
:2 to 4 more stacked at each end of the bench area, near the systems pile & the Cords gaylord.<br />
<br />
<br />
GBM gaylord =<br />
::if it is more than 1/2 full, swap it out to gaylord country, we'll fill it for sure, & it's easier than having to swap it part way through the MoBo shift, or leaving it for the afternoon shift.<br />
<br />
<br />
Notes:<br />
:We now ask the volunteers to disassemble Slot procs - the Proc can go with RAM; fan, plastic, screws as usual.<br />
:While the volunteers are at lunch convert the bench to the Desktops task. <br />
:::Also this is a handy time to reload the Samples box for next week.<br />
:Batteries = <br />
We do not ask volunteers to remove older "Dallas" style batteries because these batteries too closely resemble IC chips that are soldered<br />
onto the MoBos. Same with cylyndrical batteries - they look too much like capacitors. Removing parts that are soldered onto the board involves breaking the board, which is a safety issue. <br />
<br />
:future changes being considered =<br />
combining RAM & both Proc styles into 1 bin?<br />
<br />
==Staff Only==<br />
==== non-E Plastic ====<br />
* Acrylic:<br />
** By the Gaylord (small amounts can be in a bag or box).<br />
* PP Natural (cloudy clear plastic, usually semi rigid packaging) <br />
** & DVD cases (cloudy clear plastic, rigid):<br />
** Combine into clear bags.<br />
* Plastic #1 and #3:<br />

<br />
==== Wireless Alliance - cell phones ====<br />
<br />
The Wireless Alliance accepts:<br />
<br />
All cell phones, smart phones, PDA’s, iPods, digital cameras, and iPads regardless of age or condition<br />
Chargers<br />
Rechargeable cell phone batteries<br />
All accessories including: bluetooth, air cards, clips and cases<br />
Paper manuals and plastic packaging<br />
<br />
May 2014 notes from John:<br />
<br />
*Cameras Digital (and film) are being sold to a bulk buyer for an art project. Please deliver these to bulk sales after removing batteries and data cards. Unless they are good enough to reuse through the store, obviously. <br />
*Chargers that are not clearly matched up with a phone: please send them to wherever you would normally send power adaptors.<br />
*Batteries should be left inside of devices. Loose batteries would need to be individually bagged for the wireless alliance, or sent to recycling for further processing.<br />
*Cases, manuals and packaging that appear to be garbage can be recycled or trashed here.<br />
<br />
Historical note:<br />
In her last week, Liane just did a quality control check on a box of cell phones for the wireless alliance.<br />
Liane said that she would like to stop including manuals, cords and power adaptors with the cellphones. The paper can be recycled, the cords/power adaptors can be delivered to recycling staff. We don't get paid for this material, so there is no need to ship it.<br />
Leather or rubber cases can be thrown in the trash.<br />
Loose batteries should never be included in the box, they are a fire hazard. Batteries inside of the devices can stay.<br />
<br />
==== Filmy Plastic ====<br />
* Filmy Plastic (it stretches before it tears),<br />
** Separate Clear from Colored:<br />
*** Clear Filmy goes into Clear plastic bags, Colored goes into Black plastic bags.<br />
<br />

===Why are these people taking these boxes out the back door?===<br />
Free Geek partners with different organizations and schools to provide volunteer opportunities to people who cannot work at Free Geek's facility. These volunteers provide recycling services in their workshops, and the organization keeps track of the hours volunteers work. Volunteers are also eligible to receive FreekBoxen. A special class might have to be arranged for them to receive their training.<br />
<br />
===What canNOT be taken off site===<br />
Because of Free Geek's data security promise to donors, no media that might contain readable data can be taken off site. This includes floppy disks, data tapes, and hard drives. Video tapes from Multnomah Public Library are OK (and approved by MPL) because they are assumed to not contain data that Free Geek must ensure remains secure.<br />
<br />
Anything donated by the general public that is recordable should not be taken off site. This includes video tapes, cassettes, floppies, and any other storage devices such as data tapes, cartridges, flash drives, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
When in doubt - don't let it out.<br />

[[Tour of the Bench]] is a guide for staff and interns to use when teaching a volunteer to recycle at the Bench.<br />
<br><br />
[[Basic System Deconstruction]] is a guide that volunteers can use to orient themselves to working at the Recycling Bench.<br />
<br />
===Optical Drives===<br />
This section is for desktop sized CD-ROM and DVD drives. Laptop size drives go into CBM.<br />
*Bins Required:<br />

*** QC into: Box of CDs, or return to receiving. <br />
<br />
*How to Teach:<br />
Typically volunteers should start by removing the screws visible on the outside of the drive and the top steel plate. This should expose the main circuit board which should be carefully removed and cleaned of any wires. There is likely to be a second smaller circuit board that can stay on the plastic body of the drive. The large flat-head screwdriver should be used to pry the steel housing from the plastic drive mechanism. This steel shell will usually have a small plastic disc in it's center which can be removed by twisting the large flat head screwdriver between the plastic disc and the large steel housing.<br />
<br />
===Keyboards===<br />
*Bins Required:<br />
** Hard Plastic<br />

*** QC into: HD chassis gaylord<br />
** Circuit Boards<br />
*** Size: medium or Small<br />
*** QC into: Category 3 circuit board barrel <br />
** Trash <br />
*** Size: Trash Cans<br />
*** Contents: loose foam pads and rubber covers<br />
*** QC into: Garbage dumpster<br />
<br />
*Special tools:<br />
** A "HD Toolkit" has been created -contains Torx 6, Torx 4, Phillips 00 for laptop size drives. <br />
<br />
*How to Teach:<br />
** Separate the Circuit board from everything else by removing all screws that are on the circuit board.(other screws are irrelevant unless harvesting magnets) We have a special toolkit for the smaller screws on 2 1/2 inch drives. Once the circuit board is loose it should be cleaned of any foam rubber. The screws and main body of the drive can go into the chassis container.<br />
<br />
*Special Notes: <br />
** We now have the tools required to remove the boards from 2 1/2 inch drives. In the past we have instructed volunteers to pry off the thin circuit boards so that they rip neatly around the screws. The "HD Toolkit" is 1 Torx-6, 1 Torx-4, 1 Phillips #00.<br />
** Hard drives with shattered platters (usually 2 1/2 inch drives) should arrive in a separate container. Give the volunteers a tray to catch the spillage, it can be poured into the chassis container.<br />
<br />
* Alternate method <br />
** Magnet Harvesting:<br />
*** When harvesting magnets from the drive, volunteers should be instructed to skip any difficult or drives. Some drives get warped by the drill and torquing too hard has broken many tools.<br />
<br />
===Laptop Docks===<br />
<br />
Notice: As of now we are auto-recycling Gateway and IBM brand docks unless they have exceptional features such as cd drives or slots for Hard drives or PCMCIA cards.<br />
<br />

** Bottom Section of Dock<br />
*** Size: Medium to Large - bottom half of dock is typically heavier than top.<br />
*** Contents: Bottom part of Docking station, no further deconstruction needed<br />
*** QC into: Keep in Bin for next stage of deconstruction<br />
<br />
<br><br />
*How to Teach: We have split Laptop Docks into two tasks. The first task involves seperating the top and bottoms of the Docking Station, with no further deconstruction. This allows one volunteer to use (in most cases) 1 size screwdriver for all the docks, instead of using different tools to complete the entire deconstruction.<br />

*How to Teach: Unscrew all visible screws in order to separate metal and plastic. Test the different metals for magnetic properties. Carefully remove any circuit boards.<br />
<br />
==Advanced volunteer tasks==<br />
===Aluminum Drives===<br />
*Bins Required:<br />
** Mid-grade Circuit Boards <br />
** Cast Aluminum<br />
*** Contents: Clean Aluminum chassis with no steel, brass or other bits. <br />
*** QC into: Clean Cast Aluminum Barrel<br />
** CBM <br />

<br> <br />
<br />
*Special tools:<br />
** Power drill if appropriate<br />
** Phillips bit #2 and occasionally #1<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
*How to Teach: <br />
**Stress that with the power drill it is easy to strip screws and that stripped screws make aluminum unclean. <br />
<br> <br />
<br />
*Special Notes: <br />
**John's Experiment<br />
***In one hour of uninterrupted work with the corded power drill I disassembled 21 large 5.25 inch aluminum drives. Smaller drives have low grade boards and more annoying screws. (In John's opinion smaller drives may not be worth the effort.) <br />
<br />
this yielded:<br />
<br> 14 lbs of cast aluminum<br />
<br> 18 lbs of motors<br />
<br> 1.5 lbs of midgrade circuit boards.<br />
<br> 1 lb of junk plastic<br />
<br> unknown quantity of steel that has the aproximate value of CBM<br />
<br> unknown quantity of cbm (steel plastic and wire)<br />
<br><br />
<br />
notes:<br />
I stripped 2 screws which i was able to remove quickly.<br />
I set aside 2 drives that looked like they would require excessive<br />
effort. I'll cbm them or clean them enough for dirty aluminum.<br />
My focus was on separating motors and midgrade circuit boards, I let<br />
everything else that came off of the drive pile up and go into a cbm,<br />
unless it happened to be clean plastic.<br />
<br />
===Battery Sorting and Boxing===<br />
* See [[Sorted Batteries]]<br />
* Ask John or Liane for more details<br />
===Overhead Projectors===<br />
===Power Supplies===<br />
<br />
===Zip and Tape Drives===<br />
The bins are the same as Optical drives. More than 50% of the boards are category 3 GBM because they are practically identical to HD cards. I will occasionally offer these to a volunteer or two at the table while others are doing optical drives, or transition to them after optical drives. A T6 and maybe a PH00 is required.

<br />
===Wood Bearing Material (speakers)===<br />
Typically found on older speakers and A/V equipent, electronic devices with wood attached to them must be separated in order to put the wood in the trash and Recycle any metal, plastic, and in some cases Circuit Boards.<br />
<br />
If wood can be removed simply by unscrewing, you can prepare the items inside the warehouse near the Deconstruction pallet near the Advanced Recycling Incoming sign. You can do this either on the cord cutting cart or on the rolling cart.<br />
<br />
If the wood cannot be removed by unscrewing or gently prying apart from the remaining electronic components or case, it is recommended that a staff member or intern take it outside to be smashed (carefully) with the sledge hammer located behind the Recycling check-in desk. <br />
<br />
Once the wood is removed, it can be placed in the dumpster behind the warehouse on the left as you walk out of the roll up door.<br />
<br />
Remaining components will typically go into CBM.<br />
<br />
===UPSs (Uninterruptable Power Supplies) ===<br />
*Bins Required:<br />
** Cords<br />
*** Size: Large<br />
*** Contents: Cords<br />
*** QC into: Cords Gaylord<br />
** Steel Shell<br />
*** Size: Large<br />
*** Contents: Steel Sshells<br />
*** QC into: Schnitzer Steel Box<br />
** Batteries<br />
*** Name: Square Milk Crates<br />
*** Contents: Batteries<br />
*** QC into: Square Milk Crates<br />
<br />
*Special tools:<br />
** Large Wire Cutters<br />
<br><br />
*How to Teach:<br />
REMOVE THE BATTERY FIRST. Explain that there might still be some charge remaining in the battery, & that cutting the cord will cause sparks & will damage the wire cutters. Explain that there is no risk of getting a shock. Put batteries into the Milk Crates. Cut Cords. If it was neccessary to disassemble the UPS to remove the battery, keep the Steel Shell for the Schnitzer Steel Box.<br />
<br><br />
*Special Notes: <br />
** REMOVE THE BATTERY FIRST! STRESS THIS & WATCH FOR CONFUSION/MISTAKES.<br />
<br />
===Motherboards===<br />
* See [[Motherboard Recycling]].<br />
* See also [[Clean Circuitboards]]<br />
<br />
<br />
====Bench Setup for Motherboards====<br />
*The volunteer group Central City Concern disassembles motherboards every Tuesday morning. The following are instructions for re-configuring the bench in preparation for their arrival. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Supplies =<br />
:these are up above the MoBo/Cards shelves by the windows =<br />
::2 very big pink plastic bins,<br />
::the "MoBo Job Samples" box which contains =<br />
::(the following you might have to scrounge from Recycling (but the box should have been preloaded during last week's cleanup, see "Notes" below) =<br />
:::CD bins (for button batteries) - 6,<br />
:::RAM - 6 to 12 sticks,<br />
:::Slot Procs - 6<br />
:::Button Cell Batteries - 6 to 12,<br />
:::Socket Procs - 6 to 12,<br />
:::Heatsink Aluminum - 6,<br />
:::Fans (from Heatsink/Fan combos) - 6,<br />
:::Plastic Proc/Heatsink brackets.<br />
<br />
<br />
Rolling Steel Cart =<br />
:have volunteers empty it saturday nite,<br />
:install the 2 very big pink bins to hold the MoBos.<br />
<br />
<br />
Non-Magnetic Metal & Small Steel buckets =<br />
:let them be empty, except for a little seeding.<br />
<br />
<br />
BenchTop =<br />
:Red Bucket =<br />
::2 sticks of RAM<br />
::1 Slot Proc<br />
:White Bucket =<br />
::some screws<br />
:CD bin =<br />
::2 ButtonCell Batteries <br />
:yellow bowl (from Recycling) = <br />
::Socket Procs<br />
<br />
UnderBench =<br />
:upper left (Speakers & Fans) bin =<br />
::Fans from Heatsink/Fan combo<br />
:upper right (drives) bin =<br />
::Plastic<br />
:lower left (MoBo) bin =<br />
::steel brackets / small steel<br />
:lower right (MoBo) bin =<br />
::heatsink Aluminum<br />
<br />
<br />
MoBos ready to be processed = <br />
:2 bins on each bench, twixt the workstations, <br />
:2 to 4 more stacked at each end of the bench area, near the systems pile & the Cords gaylord.<br />
<br />
<br />
GBM gaylord =<br />
::if it is more than 1/2 full, swap it out to gaylord country, we'll fill it for sure, & it's easier than having to swap it part way through the MoBo shift, or leaving it for the afternoon shift.<br />
<br />
<br />
Notes:<br />
:We now ask the volunteers to disassemble Slot procs - the Proc can go with RAM; fan, plastic, screws as usual.<br />
:While the volunteers are at lunch convert the bench to the Desktops task. <br />
:::Also this is a handy time to reload the Samples box for next week.<br />
:Batteries = <br />
We do not ask volunteers to remove older "Dallas" style batteries because these batteries too closely resemble IC chips that are soldered<br />
onto the MoBos. Same with cylyndrical batteries - they look too much like capacitors. Removing parts that are soldered onto the board involves breaking the board, which is a safety issue. <br />
<br />
:future changes being considered =<br />
combining RAM & both Proc styles into 1 bin?<br />
<br />

==== Wireless Alliance - cell phones ====<br />
<br />
The Wireless Alliance accepts:<br />
<br />
All cell phones, smart phones, PDA’s, iPods, digital cameras, and iPads regardless of age or condition<br />
Chargers<br />
Rechargeable cell phone batteries<br />
All accessories including: bluetooth, air cards, clips and cases<br />
Paper manuals and plastic packaging<br />
<br />
May 2014 notes from John:<br />
<br />
*Cameras Digital (and film) are being sold to a bulk buyer for an art project. Please deliver these to bulk sales after removing batteries and data cards. Unless they are good enough to reuse through the store, obviously. <br />
*Chargers that are not clearly matched up with a phone: please send them to wherever you would normally send power adaptors.<br />
*Batteries should be left inside of devices. Loose batteries would need to be individually bagged for the wireless alliance, or sent to recycling for further processing.<br />
*Cases, manuals and packaging that appear to be garbage can be recycled or trashed here.<br />
<br />
Historical note:<br />
In her last week, Liane just did a quality control check on a box of cell phones for the wireless alliance.<br />
Liane said that she would like to stop including manuals, cords and power adaptors with the cellphones. The paper can be recycled, the cords/power adaptors can be delivered to recycling staff. We don't get paid for this material, so there is no need to ship it.<br />
Leather or rubber cases can be thrown in the trash.<br />
Loose batteries should never be included in the box, they are a fire hazard. Batteries inside of the devices can stay.<br />
<br />
==== Filmy Plastic ====<br />
* Filmy Plastic (it stretches before it tears),<br />
** Separate Clear from Colored:<br />
*** Clear Filmy goes into Clear plastic bags, Colored goes into Black plastic bags.<br />

[[Tour of the Bench]] is a guide for staff and interns to use when teaching a volunteer to recycle at the Bench.<br />
<br><br />
[[Basic System Deconstruction]] is a guide that volunteers can use to orient themselves to working at the Recycling Bench.<br />
<br />

*** QC into: Box of CDs, or return to receiving. <br />
<br />
*How to Teach:<br />
Typically volunteers should start by removing the screws visible on the outside of the drive and the top steel plate. This should expose the main circuit board which should be carefully removed and cleaned of any wires. There is likely to be a second smaller circuit board that can stay on the plastic body of the drive. The large flat-head screwdriver should be used to pry the steel housing from the plastic drive mechanism. This steel shell will usually have a small plastic disc in it's center which can be removed by twisting the large flat head screwdriver between the plastic disc and the large steel housing.<br />
<br />

*Special tools:<br />
** A "HD Toolkit" has been created -contains Torx 6, Torx 4, Phillips 00 for laptop size drives. <br />
<br />
*How to Teach:<br />
** Separate the Circuit board from everything else by removing all screws that are on the circuit board.(other screws are irrelevant unless harvesting magnets) We have a special toolkit for the smaller screws on 2 1/2 inch drives. Once the circuit board is loose it should be cleaned of any foam rubber. The screws and main body of the drive can go into the chassis container.<br />
<br />
*Special Notes: <br />
** We now have the tools required to remove the boards from 2 1/2 inch drives. In the past we have instructed volunteers to pry off the thin circuit boards so that they rip neatly around the screws. The "HD Toolkit" is 1 Torx-6, 1 Torx-4, 1 Phillips #00.<br />
** Hard drives with shattered platters (usually 2 1/2 inch drives) should arrive in a separate container. Give the volunteers a tray to catch the spillage, it can be poured into the chassis container.<br />
<br />
* Alternate method <br />
** Magnet Harvesting:<br />
*** When harvesting magnets from the drive, volunteers should be instructed to skip any difficult or drives. Some drives get warped by the drill and torquing too hard has broken many tools.<br />

<br> <br />
<br />
*Special tools:<br />
** Power drill if appropriate<br />
** Phillips bit #2 and occasionally #1<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
*How to Teach: <br />
**Stress that with the power drill it is easy to strip screws and that stripped screws make aluminum unclean. <br />
<br> <br />
<br />
*Special Notes: <br />
**John's Experiment<br />
***In one hour of uninterrupted work with the corded power drill I disassembled 21 large 5.25 inch aluminum drives. Smaller drives have low grade boards and more annoying screws. (In John's opinion smaller drives may not be worth the effort.) <br />
<br />
this yielded:<br />
<br> 14 lbs of cast aluminum<br />
<br> 18 lbs of motors<br />
<br> 1.5 lbs of midgrade circuit boards.<br />
<br> 1 lb of junk plastic<br />
<br> unknown quantity of steel that has the aproximate value of CBM<br />
<br> unknown quantity of cbm (steel plastic and wire)<br />
<br><br />
<br />
notes:<br />
I stripped 2 screws which i was able to remove quickly.<br />
I set aside 2 drives that looked like they would require excessive<br />
effort. I'll cbm them or clean them enough for dirty aluminum.<br />
My focus was on separating motors and midgrade circuit boards, I let<br />
everything else that came off of the drive pile up and go into a cbm,<br />
unless it happened to be clean plastic.<br />
<br />
===Battery Sorting and Boxing===<br />
* See [[Sorted Batteries]]<br />
* Ask John or Liane for more details<br />
===Overhead Projectors===<br />
===Power Supplies===<br />
<br />
===Zip and Tape Drives===<br />
The bins are the same as Optical drives. More than 50% of the boards are category 3 GBM because they are practically identical to HD cards. I will occasionally offer these to a volunteer or two at the table while others are doing optical drives, or transition to them after optical drives. A T6 and maybe a PH00 is required.

<br />
===Wood Bearing Material (speakers)===<br />
Typically found on older speakers and A/V equipent, electronic devices with wood attached to them must be separated in order to put the wood in the trash and Recycle any metal, plastic, and in some cases Circuit Boards.<br />
<br />
If wood can be removed simply by unscrewing, you can prepare the items inside the warehouse near the Deconstruction pallet near the Advanced Recycling Incoming sign. You can do this either on the cord cutting cart or on the rolling cart.<br />
<br />
If the wood cannot be removed by unscrewing or gently prying apart from the remaining electronic components or case, it is recommended that a staff member or intern take it outside to be smashed (carefully) with the sledge hammer located behind the Recycling check-in desk. <br />
<br />
Once the wood is removed, it can be placed in the dumpster behind the warehouse on the left as you walk out of the roll up door.<br />
<br />
Remaining components will typically go into CBM.<br />
<br />
===UPSs (Uninterruptable Power Supplies) ===<br />
*Bins Required:<br />
** Cords<br />
*** Size: Large<br />
*** Contents: Cords<br />
*** QC into: Cords Gaylord<br />
** Steel Shell<br />
*** Size: Large<br />
*** Contents: Steel Sshells<br />
*** QC into: Schnitzer Steel Box<br />
** Batteries<br />
*** Name: Square Milk Crates<br />
*** Contents: Batteries<br />
*** QC into: Square Milk Crates<br />
<br />
*Special tools:<br />
** Large Wire Cutters<br />
<br><br />
*How to Teach:<br />
REMOVE THE BATTERY FIRST. Explain that there might still be some charge remaining in the battery, & that cutting the cord will cause sparks & will damage the wire cutters. Explain that there is no risk of getting a shock. Put batteries into the Milk Crates. Cut Cords. If it was neccessary to disassemble the UPS to remove the battery, keep the Steel Shell for the Schnitzer Steel Box.<br />
<br><br />
*Special Notes: <br />
** REMOVE THE BATTERY FIRST! STRESS THIS & WATCH FOR CONFUSION/MISTAKES.<br />
<br />
===Motherboards===<br />
* See [[Motherboard Recycling]].<br />
* See also [[Clean Circuitboards]]<br />
<br />
<br />
====Bench Setup for Motherboards====<br />
*The volunteer group Central City Concern disassembles motherboards every Tuesday morning. The following are instructions for re-configuring the bench in preparation for their arrival. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Supplies =<br />
:these are up above the MoBo/Cards shelves by the windows =<br />
::2 very big pink plastic bins,<br />
::the "MoBo Job Samples" box which contains =<br />
::(the following you might have to scrounge from Recycling (but the box should have been preloaded during last week's cleanup, see "Notes" below) =<br />
:::CD bins (for button batteries) - 6,<br />
:::RAM - 6 to 12 sticks,<br />
:::Slot Procs - 6<br />
:::Button Cell Batteries - 6 to 12,<br />
:::Socket Procs - 6 to 12,<br />
:::Heatsink Aluminum - 6,<br />
:::Fans (from Heatsink/Fan combos) - 6,<br />
:::Plastic Proc/Heatsink brackets.<br />
<br />
<br />
Rolling Steel Cart =<br />
:have volunteers empty it saturday nite,<br />
:install the 2 very big pink bins to hold the MoBos.<br />
<br />
<br />
Non-Magnetic Metal & Small Steel buckets =<br />
:let them be empty, except for a little seeding.<br />
<br />
<br />
BenchTop =<br />
:Red Bucket =<br />
::2 sticks of RAM<br />
::1 Slot Proc<br />
:White Bucket =<br />
::some screws<br />
:CD bin =<br />
::2 ButtonCell Batteries <br />
:yellow bowl (from Recycling) = <br />
::Socket Procs<br />
<br />
UnderBench =<br />
:upper left (Speakers & Fans) bin =<br />
::Fans from Heatsink/Fan combo<br />
:upper right (drives) bin =<br />
::Plastic<br />
:lower left (MoBo) bin =<br />
::steel brackets / small steel<br />
:lower right (MoBo) bin =<br />
::heatsink Aluminum<br />
<br />
<br />
MoBos ready to be processed = <br />
:2 bins on each bench, twixt the workstations, <br />
:2 to 4 more stacked at each end of the bench area, near the systems pile & the Cords gaylord.<br />
<br />
<br />
GBM gaylord =<br />
::if it is more than 1/2 full, swap it out to gaylord country, we'll fill it for sure, & it's easier than having to swap it part way through the MoBo shift, or leaving it for the afternoon shift.<br />
<br />
<br />
Notes:<br />
:We now ask the volunteers to disassemble Slot procs - the Proc can go with RAM; fan, plastic, screws as usual.<br />
:While the volunteers are at lunch convert the bench to the Desktops task. <br />
:::Also this is a handy time to reload the Samples box for next week.<br />
:Batteries = <br />
We do not ask volunteers to remove older "Dallas" style batteries because these batteries too closely resemble IC chips that are soldered<br />
onto the MoBos. Same with cylyndrical batteries - they look too much like capacitors. Removing parts that are soldered onto the board involves breaking the board, which is a safety issue. <br />
<br />
:future changes being considered =<br />
combining RAM & both Proc styles into 1 bin?<br />
<br />
==Staff Only==<br />
==== non-E Plastic ====<br />
* Acrylic:<br />
** By the Gaylord (small amounts can be in a bag or box).<br />
* PP Natural (cloudy clear plastic, usually semi rigid packaging) <br />
** & DVD cases (cloudy clear plastic, rigid):<br />
** Combine into clear bags.<br />
* Plastic #1 and #3:<br />

==== Wireless Alliance - cell phones ====<br />
<br />
The Wireless Alliance accepts:<br />
<br />
All cell phones, smart phones, PDA’s, iPods, digital cameras, and iPads regardless of age or condition<br />
Chargers<br />
Rechargeable cell phone batteries<br />
All accessories including: bluetooth, air cards, clips and cases<br />
Paper manuals and plastic packaging<br />
<br />
May 2014 notes from John:<br />
<br />
Cameras Digital (and film) are being sold to a bulk buyer for an art project. Please deliver these to bulk sales after removing batteries and data cards. Unless they are good enough to reuse through the store, obviously. <br />
Chargers that are not clearly matched up with a phone: please send them to wherever you would normally send power adaptors.<br />
Batteries should be left inside of devices. Loose batteries would need to be individually bagged for the wireless alliance, or sent to recycling for further processing.<br />
Cases, manuals and packaging that appear to be garbage can be recycled or trashed here.<br />
<br />
Historical note:<br />
In her last week, Liane just did a quality control check on a box of cell phones for the wireless alliance.<br />
Liane said that she would like to stop including manuals, cords and power adaptors with the cellphones. The paper can be recycled, the cords/power adaptors can be delivered to recycling staff. We don't get paid for this material, so there is no need to ship it.<br />
Leather or rubber cases can be thrown in the trash.<br />
Loose batteries should never be included in the box, they are a fire hazard. Batteries inside of the devices can stay.<br />
<br />
<br />
==== Filmy Plastic ====<br />
* Filmy Plastic (it stretches before it tears),<br />
** Separate Clear from Colored:<br />
*** Clear Filmy goes into Clear plastic bags, Colored goes into Black plastic bags.<br />
<br />

Group volunteering refers to groups from different schools, organizations, or vocational programs that come to Free Geek to learn life and job skills, or just volunteer. They come usually once per week, and have counselors with them that have been trained on different jobs in the recycling area. Some groups have their students check in and later log their hours on their own, other groups might hand a list of students and the hours worked to a front desk person to be entered. <br />
<br />
Please note: Groups that want to do the Build Program need to talk to the Director of Production, or should be asked to sign up as individuals. We may not be able to host group volunteering for the Build Program. <br />
<br />
Groups must volunteer for a minimum of 1.5 hours per session.<br />
<br />
Process for volunteering as a group:<br />
<br />
# Group applies through email correspondence through info@ email list. <br />
# Group Volunteering coordinator contacts group leader (Liane or Darryl for adoption, Darren for Build and other areas), coordinates group volunteering schedule, arranges for leader to come in to Free Geek for a tour and training in area of interest, sends group leader links to our online volunteer orientation packet, volunteer applications, and group volunteering information sheet.<br />
#Group volunteer coordinator schedules group tour. If the group is larger than 4 people, an individualized, abbreviated tour may be arranged. GV coordinator will schedule tour guide, or will be the tour guide.<br />
#Group comes in for tour and hands in already-completed volunteer applications.<br />
#Group begins volunteering, hands in time sheet at the end of each volunteer experience.<br />
#Group leader or volunteer coordinator may schedule a meeting after the first couple of sessions to discuss issues related to group volunteering.<br />
<br />
Feel free to ask our Director of Public Services if you have any questions.<br />
<br />
Group volunteering is tracked through this wiki page. Each listing should be titled with the day of the week, the time, and the name of the group. Summer volunteer groups should be titled Summer, day of week, time, name of group.<br />
<br />

==One Time Group Volunteering==<br />
<br />
Group volunteering refers to groups from different schools, or vocational programs that come to Free Geek to learn life and job skills. They come here once week, and are have councilors with them that have been trained on different jobs in the recycling area. Some groups have their students check in and later log their hours on their own, other groups might hand a list of students and the hours worked to a front desk person to be entered. <br />
If you have questions, feel free to send an email to info@, someone will answer your question. <br />
<br />
See the [[Group Volunteering Policy]] for more details<br />
<br />
When recording a group that wants to come in to help Free Geek for a few hours, and only wants it to be a "one time thing", please record them on this page. This way the good folks in Recycling can prepare themselves for teams of Super Recyclers.<br />

Group volunteering refers to groups from different schools, organizations, or vocational programs that come to Free Geek to learn life and job skills, or just volunteer. They come usually once per week, and have counselors with them that have been trained on different jobs in the recycling area. Some groups have their students check in and later log their hours on their own, other groups might hand a list of students and the hours worked to a front desk person to be entered. <br />
<br />
Please note: Groups that want to do the Build Program need to talk to the Director of Production, or should be asked to sign up as individuals. We may not be able to host group volunteering for the Build Program. <br />
<br />
Groups must volunteer for a minimum of 1.5 hours per session.<br />
<br />
Process for volunteering as a group:<br />
<br />
# Group applies through email correspondence through info@ email list. <br />
# Group Volunteering coordinator contacts group leader (Liane or Darryl for adoption, Darren for Build and other areas), coordinates group volunteering schedule, arranges for leader to come in to Free Geek for a tour and training in area of interest, sends group leader links to our online volunteer orientation packet, volunteer applications, and group volunteering information sheet.<br />
#Group volunteer coordinator schedules group tour. If the group is larger than 4 people, an individualized, abbreviated tour may be arranged. GV coordinator will schedule tour guide, or will be the tour guide.<br />
#Group comes in for tour and hands in already-completed volunteer applications.<br />
#Group begins volunteering, hands in time sheet at the end of each volunteer experience.<br />
#Group leader or volunteer coordinator may schedule a meeting after the first couple of sessions to discuss issues related to group volunteering.<br />
<br />
Feel free to ask our Director of Public Services if you have any questions.<br />
<br />
Group volunteering is tracked through this wiki page. Each listing should be titled with the day of the week, the time, and the name of the group. Summer volunteer groups should be titled Summer, day of week, time, name of group.<br />
<br />
See the [[Group Volunteering Policy]] for more details<br />

<div>===Who to call and when===<br />
<br />
In 2008, Free Geek recycled 597 tons of material. We could not have done this without our material handlers who pay us to separate the stuff and actually do the recycling. In order to keep Free Geek from being crushed under the weight of our bad or obsolete donations, a fair amount of phone calls, e-mails, and fork-lifting is required...<br />
<br />
If there's a question concerning our Oregon State Contract, and Liane can't answer it, (e.g. covered/not covered, authorization for Total Reclaim pickup), contact Carson Maxted at 5o3-5o1-8471. Carson Maxted is our contact at NCER.<br />
<br />
'''Each vendor should be able to provide at least one item from the list on this Page [[Vendor paperwork]] '''<br />

* WHAT: Portable rechargeable batteries, including laptop batteries <br />
* WHAT NOT: ups batteries<br />
* SHIPPING: Boxes have been historically automatically delivered to us. If we run low we may need to contact the vendor to trigger replacements. Boxes include prepaid UPS labels and can be handed to a delivery driver or UPS store for no charge. For about $7 we can schedule a same-day UPS pickup. In 2014 John has been occasionally scheduling UPS pickups for Amazon sales and giving battery boxes to the driver at the same time. <br />
<br />
*[obsolete: changes to help with battery flow: We can now use double walled boxes, and fill them with batteries that have their terminals taped by electrical tape. They will be stored on a pallet, and when the pallet reaches at least 1000lb we call Sean for a pick up. RBRC uses Yellow Freight for pick ups. No payment needed if we set up shipment with Sean.]<br />

===Systems at the Bench===<br />
[[Tour of the Bench]] is a guide for staff and interns to use when teaching a volunteer to recycle at the Bench.<br />
<br><br />
[[Basic System Deconstruction]] is a guide that volunteers can use to orient themselves to working at the Recycling Bench.<br />
<br />
===Optical Drives===<br />
This section is for desktop sized CD-ROM and DVD drives. Laptop size drives go into CBM.<br />
*Bins Required:<br />
** Steel <br />
*** Size: Meduim-large<br />
*** Contents: Screws, the flat top plate and the bottom steel shell. <br />
*** QC into: Schnitzer steel bin. <br />
** Circuit boards <br />
*** Size: medium-small<br />
*** Contents: Circuit boards that are green on both sides, with wires removed. <br />
*** QC into: GBM gaylord<br />
** "Everything Else", guts, <br />
*** Size: Large<br />
*** Contents: The interior mechanism of the drive which includes plastic, smaller metal pieces, wires and small or low grade circuit boards(brown/tan on one side). Also, the plastic/metal disc that was embedded in the larger steel shell.<br />

** CDs<br />
*** When a cd/dvd falls out of the drive it can be set aside in a pile.<br />
*** QC into: Box of CDs, or return to receiving. <br />
<br />
*How to Teach:<br />
Typically volunteers should start by removing the screws visible on the outside of the drive and the top steel plate. This should expose the main circuit board which should be carefully removed and cleaned of any wires. There is likely to be a second smaller circuit board that can stay on the plastic body of the drive. The large flat-head screwdriver should be used to pry the steel housing from the plastic drive mechanism. This steel shell will usually have a small plastic disc in it's center which can be removed by twisting the large flat head screwdriver between the plastic disc and the large steel housing.<br />
<br />
===Keyboards===<br />

*Special Notes: the grade of the Circuit Boards is not finalized<br />
<br />
===Floppy Drives (aluminum chassis only)===<br />
*Aluminum<br />
*Steel (covers, screws, etc)<br />

<br />
===Hard Drives===<br />
*Bins Required:<br />
** Chassis <br />

<br />
*How to Teach:<br />
** Separate the Circuit board from everything else by removing all screws that are on the circuit board.(other screws are irrelevant unless harvesting magnets) We have a special toolkit for the smaller screws on laptop size drives. Once the circuit board is loose it should be cleaned of any foam rubber. The screws and main body of the dr<br />
<br />
*Special Notes: <br />
** We now have the tools required to remove the boards from laptop drives. In the past we have instructed volunteers to pry off the thin circuit boards so that they rip neatly around the screws. The "HD Toolkit" is 1 Torx-6, 1 Torx-4, 1 Phillips #00.<br />
<br />
* Alternate method <br />
** Magnet Harvesting:<br />
*** When harvesting magnets from the drive, volunteers should be instructed to skip any difficult or drives. Some drives get warped by the drill and torquing too hard has broken many tools.<br />
<br />
===Laptop Docks===<br />
<br />
Notice: As of now we are auto-recycling Gateway and IBM brand docks unless they have exceptional features such as cd drives or slots for Hard drives or PCMCIA cards.<br />
<br />

*** Contents: Bottom part of Docking station, no further deconstruction needed<br />
*** QC into: Keep in Bin for next stage of deconstruction<br />
<br />
<br><br />
*How to Teach: We have split Laptop Docks into two tasks. The first task involves seperating the top and bottoms of the Docking Station, with no further deconstruction. This allows one volunteer to use (in most cases) 1 size screwdriver for all the docks, instead of using different tools to complete the entire deconstruction.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Advanced volunteer tasks==<br />
===Aluminum Drives===<br />
*Bins Required:<br />

*** QC into: Clean Cast Aluminum Barrel<br />
** CBM <br />
*** Contents: Everything else including: motors, steel/screws, wires, plastic, low grade circuit boards, steel that did not come off pure. <br />
<br> <br />
<br />
*Special tools:<br />
** Power drill if appropriate<br />
** Phillips bit #2 and occasionally #1<br />
<br> <br />
<br />
*How to Teach: <br />
**Stress that with the power drill it is easy to strip screws and that striped screws make aluminum unclean. <br />
<br> <br />
<br />
*Special Notes: <br />
**John's Experiment<br />
***In one hour of uninterrupted work with the corded power drill I disassembled 21 large 5.25 inch aluminum drives. Smaller drives have low grade boards and more annoying screws. (In John's opinion smaller drives may not be worth the effort.) <br />
<br />
this yielded:<br />
<br> 14 lbs of cast aluminum<br />
<br> 18 lbs of motors<br />
<br> 1.5 lbs of midgrade circuit boards.<br />
<br> 1 lb of junk plastic<br />
<br> unknown quantity of steel that has the aproximate value of CBM<br />
<br> unknown quantity of cbm (steel plastic and wire)<br />
<br><br />
<br />
notes:<br />
I stripped 2 screws which i was able to remove quickly.<br />
I set aside 2 drives that looked like they would require excessive<br />
effort. I'll cbm them or clean them enough for dirty aluminum.<br />
My focus was on separating motors and midgrade circuit boards, I let<br />
everything else that came off of the drive pile up and go into a cbm,<br />
unless it happened to be clean plastic.<br />
<br />
===Battery Sorting and Boxing===<br />
* See [[Sorted Batteries]]<br />
* Ask John or Liane for more details<br />
===Overhead Projectors===<br />
===Power Supplies===<br />
<br />
===Zip and Tape Drives===<br />
The bins are the same as Optical drives. More than 50% of the boards are category 3 GBM because they are practically identical to HD cards. I will occasionally offer these to a volunteer or two at the table while others are doing optical drives, or transition to them after optical drives. A T6 and maybe a PH00 is required.

<br />
===Wood Bearing Material (speakers)===<br />
Typically found on older speakers and A/V equipent, electronic devices with wood attached to them must be separated in order to put the wood in the trash and Recycle any metal, plastic, and in some cases Circuit Boards.<br />
<br />
If wood can be removed simply by unscrewing, you can prepare the items inside the warehouse near the Deconstruction pallet near the Advanced Recycling Incoming sign. You can do this either on the cord cutting cart or on the rolling cart.<br />
<br />
If the wood cannot be removed by unscrewing or gently prying apart from the remaining electronic components or case, it is recommended that a staff member or intern take it outside to be smashed (carefully) with the sledge hammer located behind the Recycling check-in desk. <br />
<br />
Once the wood is removed, it can be placed in the dumpster behind the warehouse on the left as you walk out of the roll up door.<br />
<br />
Remaining components will typically go into CBM.<br />
<br />
===UPSs (Uninterruptable Power Supplies) ===<br />
*Bins Required:<br />
** Cords<br />
*** Size: Large<br />
*** Contents: Cords<br />

*Special tools:<br />
** Large Wire Cutters<br />
<br><br />
*How to Teach:<br />
REMOVE THE BATTERY FIRST. Explain that there might still be some charge remaining in the battery, & that cutting the cord will cause sparks & will damage the wire cutters. Explain that there is no risk of getting a shock. Put batteries into the Milk Crates. Cut Cords. If it was neccessary to disassemble the UPS to remove the battery, keep the Steel Shell for the Schnitzer Steel Box.<br />
<br><br />
*Special Notes: <br />
** REMOVE THE BATTERY FIRST! STRESS THIS & WATCH FOR CONFUSION/MISTAKES.<br />

===Motherboards===<br />

* See also [[Clean Circuitboards]]<br />
<br />
<br />
====Bench Setup for Motherboards====<br />
*The volunteer group Central City Concern disassembles motherboards every Tuesday morning. The following are instructions for re-configuring the bench in preparation for their arrival. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Supplies =<br />
:these are up above the MoBo/Cards shelves by the windows =<br />
::2 very big pink plastic bins,<br />
::the "MoBo Job Samples" box which contains =<br />
::(the following you might have to scrounge from Recycling (but the box should have been preloaded during last week's cleanup, see "Notes" below) =<br />
:::tall CD bins (for button batteries) - 6,<br />
:::RAM - 6 to 12 sticks,<br />
:::Slot Procs - 6<br />
:::Button Cell Batteries - 6 to 12,<br />
:::Socket Procs - 6 to 12,<br />
:::Heatsink Aluminum - 6,<br />
:::Fans (from Heatsink/Fan combos) - 6,<br />
:::Plastic Proc/Heatsink brackets.<br />
<br />
<br />
Rolling Steel Cart =<br />
:have volunteers empty it saturday nite,<br />
:install the 2 very big pink bins to hold the MoBos.<br />
<br />
<br />
Non-Magnetic Metal & Small Steel buckets =<br />
:let them be empty, except for a little seeding.<br />
<br />
<br />
BenchTop =<br />
:Red Bucket =<br />
::2 sticks of RAM<br />
::1 Slot Proc<br />
:White Bucket =<br />
::some screws<br />
:tall CD bin =<br />
::2 ButtonCell Batteries <br />
:yellow bowl (from Recycling) = <br />
::Socket Procs<br />
<br />
UnderBench =<br />
:upper left (Speakers & Fans) bin =<br />
::Fans from Heatsink/Fan combo<br />
:upper right (drives) bin =<br />
::Plastic<br />
:lower right (MoBo) bin =<br />
::heatsink Aluminum<br />
<br />
<br />
MoBos ready to be processed = <br />
:2 bins on each bench, twixt the workstations, <br />
:2 to 4 more stacked at each end of the bench area, near the systems pile & the Cords gaylord.<br />
<br />
<br />
GBM gaylord =<br />
::if it is more than 1/2 full, swap it out to gaylord country, we'll fill it for sure, & it's easier than having to swap it part way through the MoBo shift, or leaving it for the afternoon shift.<br />
<br />
<br />
Notes:<br />
:We now ask the volunteers to disassemble Slot procs - the Proc can go with RAM, fan, plastic, screws as usual<br />
:While the volunteers are at lunch clean out their bins, you'll have less cleanup at the end, <br />
:::also this is a handy time to reload the Samples box.<br />
:Batteries = <br />
We do not ask volunteers to remove older "Dallas" style batteries because these batteries too closely resemble IC chips that are soldered<br />
onto the MoBos. Removing parts that are soldered onto the board involves breaking the board, which is a safety issue. <br />
<br />
:future changes being considered =<br />
give each workstation a bin for small steel (less walking back-&-forth to the Small-Steel bin), maybe just use lower left underbench<br />

<hr />
<div>===Who to call and when===<br />
<br />
In 2008, Free Geek recycled 597 tons of material. We could not have done this without our material handlers who pay us to separate the stuff and actually do the recycling. In order to keep Free Geek from being crushed under the weight of our bad or obsolete donations, a fair amount of phone calls, e-mails, and fork-lifting is required...<br />
<br />
If there's a question concerning our Oregon State Contract, and Liane can't answer it, (e.g. covered/not covered, authorization for Total Reclaim pickup), contact Carson Maxted at 5o3-5o1-8471. Carson Maxted is our contact at NCER.<br />

*Answer all emails promptly<br />

==General Advice==<br />
*It is ok to lose money on some sales. <br />
**Expect this and be sure that you are having an overall profitable experience. <br />
*Feedback is worth money. <br />
**Sellers with better feedback ratings can expect quicker sales and higher prices. <br />
**New sellers can be devastated by a single negative feedback. <br />
**Half of the negative feedback that John sees is probably undeserved. <br />
**Communicate with buyers early and quickly to resolve issues. <br />
*Be emotionally resilient<br />
**When negative feedback comes in, or large orders are refunded, it is common for a seller to feel demoralized.<br />
<br />

This page is meant as a general guide to printer testing. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=Printers=<br />
The basic steps are:<br />
*1. Set the printer up: Plug it in to the wall and computer. Make sure that it has paper. Check that is complete and all doors/trays are closed. If it has a power button, turn it on. <br />
<br />

The basic steps are:<br />
*1. Set the printer up: Plug it in to the wall and computer. Make sure that it has paper. Check that is complete and all doors/trays are closed. If it has a power button, turn it on. <br />
<br />
*2. For most testable printers Ubuntu will detect it and begin the process of installing drivers. Verify that the printer is installed and follow on-screen instructions if necessary. <br />
<br />
*3. Open the file "10.04_Printer_Fresh_Used_Ink.odt" and print it. Verify that the appropriate printer is selected in the print dialogue. <br />
<br />
*4. If the printed page looks perfect then the test was successful. Tape the page to the printer and fill in the blanks. Send this to the tested shelf along with any proprietary power adapters. <br />
<br />
**4.5 be sure to test any special features like duplex printing, and copying. We do no test the fax or networking capabilities. <br />
<br />
* For the most part we get so many nice printers that we don't spend much time on printers when they do not work right away because:<br />
** we can't find appropriate drivers<br />
** Ink or toner is missing (or empty) and we don't have handy replacements. <br />
** there is a drum or fuser error <br />
** There are horrible noises, paper jams or errors that cannot be resolved within a minute or two. <br />
<br />
*Printers that fail the test should be labelled with their problem and returned to printer incoming. They will be recycled or sold to a bulk buyer. <br />
<br />
<br />
*5. Unplug the printer, delete the printer (and any others you find) from system-> administration -> Printing <br />

*2. For most testable printers Ubuntu will detect it and begin the process of installing drivers. Verify that the printer is installed and follow on-screen instructions if necessary. <br />
<br />
*3. Open the file "10.04_Printer_Fresh_Used_Ink.odt" and print it. Verify that the appropriate printer is selected in the print dialogue. <br />
<br />
*4. If the printed page looks perfect then the test was successful. Tape the page to the printer and fill in the blanks. Send this to te tested shelf along with any proprietary power adapters. <br />
<br />
**4.5 be sure to test any special features like duplex printing, and copying. We do no test the fax or networking capabilities. <br />
<br />
* For the most part we get so many nice printers that we don't spend much time on printers when they do not work right away because:<br />
** we can't find appropriate drivers<br />
** Ink or toner is missing (or empty) and we don't have handy replacements. <br />
** there is a drum or fuser error <br />
** There are horrible noises, paper jams or errors that cannot be resolved within a minute or two. <br />
<br />
*Printers that fail the test should be labelled with their problem and returned to printer incoming. They will be recycled or sold to a bulk buyer. <br />
<br />
<br />
*5. Unplug the printer, delete the printer (and any others you find) from system-> administration -> Printing <br />
