What Do I do? Who do I ask?
Welcome to Recycling! Head over to the Recycling Check-In area by following the signs. The person approaching you is either a staff member or recycling intern. They be able to get you started.
If no one is there, feel free to help yourself to gloves and safety glasses until someone shows up. You don't need safety glasses if you wear prescription glasses.
Safety Introduction
Volunteers are required to wear gloves and safety glasses while working in Recycling. They are available at Recycling's check-in area, where tools are lent out. If you'd like a dust mask, please ask and we will give you one. Please also remember some common sense safety, like:
- No throwing of materials inside the warehouse or outside in the lot.
- Try to keep your area free of tripping hazards.
- The forklift is bigger than you, so PLEASE YIELD to it.
Where do I put it?
Big Boxes in front of me
Little bins on top of the bench
Little boxes below the bench
Below each of the benches are 4 bins. The smallest bin is for both speakers and fans. The other 3 larger bins are for circuit boards of any kind (mostly motherboards if you're recycling computers). The only things that need to be removed from motherboards are wires/cables, and steel plates/trays. Other things can stay on the motherboard (processor, heatsink, battery (button or other), RAM, etc).
