This is the first wiki page for a project by the NPAs to make Receiving more responsive to the needs/wants/likes/dislikes of other areas.  The current idea is that NPAs will interview/communicate with/and/or/work in different areas around FreeGeek to learn more about what these areas should receive and how they should receive it.

The deconstruction pile in the recycling area has been getting out of control, so Liane would like to work with us so that this doesn't happen.  One of the problems is that many items that should go to CBM have started going to deconstruction.  Here, however, is the rub: whether or not an item should go to deconstruction does not depend solely on the what the item is.  Sometimes, if recycling is receiving a lot of one item and they don't have time to take all of these items apart, recycling CBMs these items.  Other times, these items will be deconstructed.  In other words, it will probably not be possible to develop a set list of what Recycling wants in CBM and what they want in deconstruction.  So the policy that Liane suggested was, with the exception of a few types of items (and at this point is this author is not exactly sure what these items are), ''when in doubt, put it in CBM''.  The person in recycling always sorts through the CBM box when it is brought back from Receiving, so they will pull things out that they need at that particular time.--[[User:Elizabethwt|Elizabethwt]] 23:25, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

*PCI brackets that are part metal, part ribbon cable - the store can sell some of these, but we get so many of them! They shouldn't just go into ribbon cable because they can easily be taken apart.  Firewire, USB, and older can definitely be recycled, but keep your eyes out for newer ones, like SATA, e-SATA, and HDMI, which can go to the store -[[User:Brittany|Brittany]] 02:13, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

This page is out-of-date and needs to be updated. It needs to be reconciled with the other documentation we have about what different areas want.--Elizabethwt 18:22, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
