Free Geek does pickups on a limited basis.
How people can request pickups
People contact Free Geek with questions about pickups in lots of different ways (email, phone, in person, etc). When people are interested in learning more about pickups, they should send an email with specifics about the equipment to be picked up to pickups@freegeek.org . Look at Pickups Intake for more details as to what info should be provided when they send their email.
Logistics
When: Every Thursday
Driver: Austin Crouch
Equipment for Pickups:
The driver should ask donors whether they will require a pallet jack or not. If so, use one of the jacks located in the warehouse.
Other items to bring include:
- Wheeled carts (one for each person on the pickup)
- Hand truck (for systems)
- Gloves
- Tally slips
- Uncovered stickers (normally located in the glove box or the metal binder in the cab)
- Pencil
- Free Geek cellphone
The truck needs 10-15 minutes to warm up properly, and then it's good to go.
There is lots of lifting involved, so be sure to use proper lifting procedure to avoid injury. Try to arrange the truck for easy loading and access to any items that may need stickers or tallying. Try to do any tallying before returning to Free Geek, or before unloading. Call and notify Receiving of your arrival.
NPA Schedule
At present, Receiving is triple-staffed by NPAs on Thursday mornings to both provide extra coverage to the area and allow for the setup of a rotating schedule for people to help out with pickups. The schedule below will change as staffing in Receiving changes.
In the event of a pickup that has a lot of heavy (e.g. enterprise) equipment for collection, an additional NPA from Receiving will be asked to come along to help.
