		+	Cut the power cord and place in the wire bin.

		+	Remove the battery or batteries, and keep seperate for the battery recycler.

		+	Remove covers and place either in the plastics of metal bin. Note: items placed in the plastics bin must have '''''all''''' metal parts removed.

		+	Remove significant aluminum or iron components (if practical) and place in the appropriate bin.

−	~~'''Batteries''' and '''UPS'''es~~ are ~~evaluated separately. When removing batteries, be careful~~ to ~~find the clips for the wires: '''do not cut the wires.'''~~	+	The remaining components are to go in the CBM bin.

−	* have a battery hatch?
−	* are rated at 400 VA (voltamps) or greater?

−
−	~~To recycle:~~
−
−	* Tally on the sheet
−	* Mine aluminum heatsinks.
−	* Fully recycle if the pile is large, leave under the small bench against the wall if it's small.
−
−	~~==Batteries==~~
−
−	~~Evaluate physically first:~~
−
−	* are there any cracks?
−	* bulges?
−	* other physical damage?
−
−	~~If so, '''using gloves,''' place the battery~~ in ~~a '''''sturdy''''' plastic bag and recycle.~~
−
−	~~With a voltmeter, test the terminals. If you get a negative voltage, you've reversed~~ the ~~terminals. Batteries are rated at 6V, 12V, and 24V, and must display ''at least'' their rated voltage. So a 12V battery showing 11.8 is a recycler, but showing 13.7 is fine~~.
