NOTES AND DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
|
Collect |
From Receiving
- There is a lock-box in Receiving where incoming cell phones are stored after being donated. The key for this box is on a hook in TARDIS and attached to a heat sink.
- Collect contents of lock-box as well as the contents of the Cell Phone Accessories box.

Pre-test Evaluation, Recycling and Storage |
Auto-Recycle vs. Save
- Save:
- Anything with a touch screen
- Blackberries
- Only very fancy and new Blackberries (e.g., Blackberry Storm) get tested. All the others get wiped and sent to the store/Online Sales.
- iPhones (put in Tom's box in TARDIS)
- Cameras (put in Tom's box in TARDIS)
- Recycle everything else and put in the cell phone recycling box in TARDIS:
- Pull out all SIM/SD cards and place in the box of SD cards in TARDIS to be wiped
- Most Verizon phones (e.g., Razors) do not have SD cards
- For pagers: pull out the battery and put into the CBM bin in the Warehouse
- Make sure there are no exposed batteries: if back plate is missing, use tape or a label to tape up the back
- If battery is bulging or oozing or crusty, bring it to the Warehouse to be properly disposed of
