This is how you keep Printer Island working slick:

Usually, the staff member or whoever is supervising Printer Island needs to Meta Evaluation to decide what needs doing and some Recycling Prep to get stuff safe/ready to be recycled at the table. Then there are these other things that need doing:

These things constantly need doing:

  1. Sort the plastic in the big box at the end of the table. If you find metal or rubber, ask volunteers if they wouldn't mind removing it. Toss the clean plastic into the e-plastic gaylord.
  2. Make sure that printer disassembly is going well, and that volunteers aren't taking the printers too far apart.
  3. Sign tools in and out to volunteers. Supply them with gloves and goggles and encourage them to use them. Plastic flies around fast. Wear goggles! Extra gloves and goggles are in the plastic cabinet under the computer. The clear plastic tool kits should have 6 tools, the red ones should have 5.
  4. Check over the cart of keeper machines. If they are taken to the store or grant shelves, be sure to record the number and type of keepers on the sheet on the whiteboard.
  5. If any boxes or gaylords get full (with the exception of ink and toner), ask someone in Reycling what normally happens to them.

Beginning of shift tasks:

  1. Call the store (228) to see if they need product.
  2. Run through Meta Evaluation and Recycling Prep and get a volunteer to help if it's too much.
  3. If the power supply incoming is full, chop and recycle some cables and walwarts.

End of shift tasks:

  1. Take the scanners and scanner sections to the scanner gaylord in the front of the building. Borrow a cart from receiving for this.
  2. Check over all the other bins, and take them to their Recycling destinations if they're full.
  3. 10 minutes before the end of the shift, sweep odds & ends off the recycling table and into the purple bin. These bits will get boxed and put in a Printer Scrap gaylord. Sweep odds & ends off the floor and deposit likewise.
  4. Check the tools back in.
  5. You can borrow a big broom and dustpan from Recycling. It's to the left of the pull-down door. Make sure you return it.
