 ''' Cleaning safety glasses '''
-* I have purchased microfiber cloths from costco ($0.50 each) that last about 2 weeks before they get greasy and dusty. Every morning, I shake the glasses in a small tub of hot water and then wipe them clean.   This seems to work very well and volunteers comment about the nice glasses. Each morning the glasses are mostly filthy again, some are very bad. It might be worth checking midday and separating any that are very dirty.

+* Lithium batteries all need to be taped if they are going to be shipped anywhere. This includes button batteries. Taking them anywhere other than Metro hazardous would require labor. It turns out that taping batteries is fairly easy and fast using volunteer labor. However, Metro metals offers us no discount for taping them.
 * A H.E.P.A filter should catch toner. Some vacuums labeled hepa allow some air to leak past the filter. to vaccume large toner spills an Electrostatic discharge-safe vacuum is required to prevent explosion.

 * Financial justification: Value of GBM, value of (printer scrap $x/lb plus eplastic $0/lb) vs whole printers ?/lb), and value of printer sales.
 * Mission based justification: Grants, Reuse, volunteer oppertunity, "doing our best". (It would be hard to justify taking apart audio cassettes but not printers.)
