= TOUR OF THE BENCH =

PRELIMINARIES
* Schedule
Volunteer is actually on the Recycling Bench schedule (or added by you)
* Safety
Volunteer knows to report injury and knows location of first aid and knows to contact a staff member if an injury occurs.
 
Volunteer has safety gear.
 
Gloves & glasses required (prescription glasses OK).
 
Not wearing open-toed shoes.
* Breaks
Volunteer knows where to take breaks and use the restrooms.
 
Volunteer knows when to take breaks:
:2 to 5 hour shift = 15 min break (recorded as volunteer time)
:6 hour shift = EITHER: 2 15 min breaks (recorded as vol time)
:::OR 30 min lunch that's NOT part of vol time
:8 hour shift = 30 min lunch + 2 x 15 min breaks (all part of volunteer time)
 
SYSTEM PILE
* Point out pile of computers near recycling check-in.
* Most are computers, but sometimes other stuff (servers, large network device, DVRs, game consoles, set-top boxes, etc)
 
LARGE BINS = GAYLORDS
* Goal is to separate the computer into steel, plastic and other recyclables.
* Power supplies - point out shelf below stereo, and bottom shelf as well. We don't remove steel from power supplies. Wires will be cut later.
* Thin wire - single layer of insulation, usually colored wire
* Ribbon cable - usually gray and wide, sometimes thin & glossy (white, black, orange).
* CBM - no need to explain much except "staff use only"
* E-Plastic - rigid plastic from electronics. Very small plastic OK. Thin & flexible plastic not OK. Filmy plastic not OK. NO STEEL OR ALUMINUM. Brass molded in OK.
*Cords - double insulated. When possible, point our cable/cord that shows part of the colored wire under the outer jacket.
 
OVERFLOW PALLET
* If necessary, point out any overflow pallet of systems (systems, servers, etc)
 
METALS
* Steel versus Non-magnetic metal - point out HD magnets mounted on bench.
* Use magnet to demonstrate the difference between ferrous and non-ferrous
* Show "Big Steel" cart, "Small Steel" bin, and "Non-Magnetic Metal" bin.
 
CONTAINERS ON TOP OF THE BENCH
* White container - tiny steel, e.g. screws, clips, springs, etc
* Red container - small cbm (switches, plugs), garbage (foam, thin/filmy plastic). Encourage green drive rail cleaning & wires to be separated from plastic.
 
BINS UNDER THE BENCH
* Top-left is for case fans and speakers (show examples)
* Other 3 bins for circuit boards and drives
:Circuits boards can be Mother Boards, PCI, tiny ones
:Mother Boards
::We don't take anything off of them unless it's necessary to get them out of the computer
::It may be necessary to remove wires/cables and other circuit boards (PCI cards).
::It may also be necessary to remove the heatsink fan combo insome cases, but don't assume.
:Drives = all drives except hard drives (which we'll cover a little later)
::Usually CD & Floppy, but also DVD, Tape, Jazz, Zip, etc)
 
RECYCLING REMINDERS
* Plastic with Metal
:Show front panels of computers
::Clips & screws in corners
::Metal springs behind buttons
::Dell aluminum badges
:Brass inserts molded into plastic can go into E-plastic gaylord
:But remove steel clips from plastic drive rails (green example)
* Steel
:Flatten U-shaped system covers (brace yourself, stomp it flat, but don't spread it out completely)
::Don't remove rubber or soft plastic feet from steel
* Hard Drive vs Floppy Drive
:Show differences = slot in Floppy drive, HD is sealed
* Hard Drive
:Hard drives are usually not in these computers to be recycled, but they might slip through.
::Show Hard Drive with our RECYCLE sticker on it.
::Hard Drive w/ sticker goes to Recycling staff, usually at check-in station.
 
DECONSTRUCTION
* Gauge the volunteer's experience with desktop computer hardware.
* How do you get inside the computer?
:Show examples as necessary (Dell, HP, generic, etc)
* Follow up - do these as appropriate:
:Work next to them if space allows
:Ask intern to work next to them
:Check back during their first deconstruction
:Put them near an experienced volunteer
:QC the gaylords, metal bins & bins under the bench
:Give feedback about where things go to correct errors early on
:Follow up periodically for first timers
