Large Item Process
Large Item and Interesting Item Process

Process
Proposed [1] - Decided October 3d 2008 staff meeting
Receiving often gets lots of large items and/or interesting items (e.g. server racks).
When Free Geek comes into possession of a large and/or interesting ewaste item, Receiving is to first ask someone in Production and/or the Store what to do with it. Production can decide on its reuse potential, and the Store may decide on its resale value. Online Sales (i.e. Santiago) is another resource for Receivers to figure out what to do with large and/or interesting items.
If the item is not to be reused or sold, Production will coordinate with Recycling. If the item is to be reused it can only be stored in places zoned for Production, and not disrupt the daily flow of people and gizmos through those places. A note should be added to all items stating there planned future, and who's responsible. (Items can not stay indefinitely.)
