Computer Collection Events

This is an outreach activity and it should be a positive experience for the public.
Accordingly, you need the proper infrastructure.
- If it is a big event that is well promoted:
- You need to partner with a recycler so that Free Geek only takes the reusable equipment:
  - Monitors after 2000
  - All systems
  - Some printers
  - Gizmos
- To handle this load with the box truck:
  - Bring pallets and tarps so that you have a place to keep equipment out of rain while loading truck
  - Use 4 gaylords with covers, which hold 18 monitors each - 3 along the side and one on the other side for gizmos
  - Stack systems on top of the covered gaylords
- You need volunteers for:
  - Unloading the vechicles
  - Assisting the customer at the table -- money, literature, sign up email
  - Load truck
- If it is a smaller event, probably don't need to partner with a recycler
  - Same setup applies
