How to Identify John Ashcraft
John Ashcraft!
Formerly known as John the Recycling Intern.
I am currently Free Geek's Warehouse_support Staff.
Also known as "That guy who brings in bags of banannas".
ToDo List

Training I Need
First aid / CPR training.
- (This is supposedly being planned soon - as of April 2011)
- I have read : Injury_Logging_Procedure and Safety.
Forklift Operation.
- I have read the manual and am planning training with Cliff.
How To Run Printer Island - Printers.
- I have a good concept of printer triage and volunteer expectations. I understand that toner, glass and bulbs should be kept away from volunteers. I believe that I could run a shift in printer-land when needed.
Research printer reuse procedures and options. - started 3/25/11
- I have tested a few printers and scanners. I am interested in learning to work with the bulk buyer. I would like to become more proficient at testing/reuse.
Questions John is Pondering
Plastic to oil technology.
- Screws and springs are only potentially an issue for the shredding machinery perhaps we will be able to ship out audio cassettes and more intricate media once the data security has been achieved.
Robots will make human labor obsolete. - Someday mechanical separation of plastic, steel, aluminum, copper and possibly even circuit boards will meet or exceed environmental concerns about materials reclamation.
- Has this occurred and we just don't know about it?
- I assume that the plastic that enters the CBM shredder is degraded to a quality below E-plastic. Is it actually less reusable than Junk-plastic? If so will it still be true when Plastic-to-oil technology becomes available.
- Perhaps stripping aluminum drives has no environmental benefit. If so, is there sufficient economic incentive?
Is there a better way to manage dust in the warehouse?
- I imagine a weekly vacuuming of the warehouse floors and tabletops with a powerful shop-vac that has a filter that is appropriate for toner. Sweeping makes fine particles airborne and doesn't get into the cracks. When something is dropped on the floor or bench small clouds of dust form.
- An appropriate vacuum would need the capacity to handle screws, zipties and other scraps.
