 == Measuring Success ==
 * How can the success of the program be measured?
+Income in recycling actually goes up, after all other costs are deducted.
 * For most income generating positions, the costs initially outweigh the benefits. If this is an income generating program, how long until it is expected to break even?
+Good Question.
 * Outline a plan for implementing the program:
+I don't think Free Geek is at a point where such a machine would be efficent. We just don't get enough material.

 == Drawbacks ==
 * Outline the intangible costs for the position and program:
+Building fencing and a roof, maintance, rent, loss of parkinglot, can the forklift handle a steel bale?, storage of bales until vendor pickup.
 * Are there any possible negative impacts on Free Geek's mission, and if so what?
+No.
 * How will this program affect other programs and staff positions currently in effect?
+Either increase staff hours in recycling by increasing weekly work hours, or take hours away from another program to staff baler time. Feeding the baler should not be done by a volunteer.
 * How will this program affect other programs and staff positions being considered?
+If hours get diverted to baler time, other programs might loose hours in staff coverage.

 Would need to add staff hours to recycling.
 * What other costs are associated with the program? (Include costs of materials needed, etc.)
-Would need a covered and fenced area, most likely 1/3 of parkinglot would be taken up. Also, because bales need a lot of material to be send through to make a bale, we might not be using it efficently, because of the volume of material recycled at Free Geek. Balers need a ton of electricity to run. Noise level would be high, especially with steel baling.
