 The basic types of wall warts we deal with:
 *Printer Power Supplies
-**Will generally be rectangular, black or beige, and bear known printer brand names, but the ones we primarily keep will say HP on the back of the supply.  These are also known as "bricks", because of the shape.  ''Save any printer power supply that is plugged into the back of a printer, though.''
+**Will generally be rectangular and bear known printer brand names.  These are also known as "bricks", because of the shape.  ''Unless you are recycling the printer in Receiving, save any printer power supply that is plugged into the back of a printer.''
 *Speaker Power Supplies
-**These are generally small, square, black or beige, and bear known speaker brand names.  We save anything that says Altec Lansing, Bose, Boston Acoustics, Creative, GE, Harmon Kardon, JBL, Kensington, Labtec, Logitech, Maxell, NEC, Panasonic, Philips, Sony, TDK, ViewSonic, or Yamaha.  There are other brands, but these are the big ones.  The ''really'' big names to be aware of?  We see more ''Altec Lansing'', ''Creative'', ''Harmon Kardon'', ''Logitech'',  and ''Boston'' brand speakers than anything else.

-''Dell and Compaq also make speakers, but because they make laptops as well, pretty much save ANYTHING that says Dell or Compaq.''  '''DO NOT CLIP LAPTOP POWER SUPPLIES'''; if you think it MIGHT be a laptop power supply, or a printer supply (both long black or beige rectangles, with a cord coming off each end) '''DO NOT CLIP IT'''.

 ===Special notes===
-#Do not remove power supplies that come in with speakers; bag up both speakers and power supply and send them over to Speaker Test.
