-We do a commodity exchange on Thursdays. Mike or Jim from Rapid Refill will come by and donate printers, give us stripped cartridges in large boxes, and take ink and toner from us. The donated printers go to Receiving. The stripped cartridges can go on the toner pallet in cardboard boxes on the pallet between the plastic and scrap pallets. I help Rapid Refill grab Clean Toner, Chipped Toner and any stacked boxes of ink cartridges that we have under the evaluation bench and load it in their vehicle. I also check Receiving to see if they have any extra boxes of cartridges we can give them. It's a good idea to pull their car up to the warehouse doors if it doesn't interfere with other warehouse activity. Rapid Refill will also give us circuit board material that they remove from their failed cartridges. I keep a cardboard box of them on the top shelf to the left of the hazardous box.
+: When it is safe and efficient to do so, Staff or interns will remove the scanning unit (which contains a fluorescent bulb [mercury]) from scanners, fax machines and multi-function printers. The bulbs are left in their plastic housings and placed gently into the gaylord marked "staff use only". If It is not safe or efficient to remove the bulb housing then the scanner unit can go directly into the gaylord.
-Today is also the day (it doesn't happen every Thursday) that is convenient to ship the non-chipped cartridge pallet, i.e. the one between plastic and scrap, to Far West Fibers. When that pallet is stacked high enough it needs to be shrink wrapped and loaded into the truck.

 Printerland is responsible for printers, multi-function printers, faxes, and scanners.  Receiving does not accept copiers, and they check machines that look like copiers to make sure they have means for connecting to a computer or network.  If we inadvertently receive a copier, we recycle it without disassembly.

 : The idea here is that we want to sort the stuff that comes into Printerland so that we have some things to test and so that we isolate [[Toner]], [[Fluorescent bulbs]] and [[Glass]] from the stuff that we want to recycle. Anything that we are going to recycle should be tallied on the clipboard hanging in the incoming area. <!--We mark "R" on machines that we're recycling that can go in the Recycling gaylord and get safely taken apart by volunteers. We mark "F" on machines that can't be safely taken apart and only need some minor treatment before they go into the Fax Machine Gaylord. We mark "S" on machines that will be treated as recycled scanners. In the incoming area, there are instructions on how volunteers can treat marked machines.-->
