Recycling

Recycling is basic in concept and complex in practice. The process of recycling at Free Geek is always evolving. Basically we break down electronic waste and separate the components into different categories. How and what we categorize is always changing.

Recycling Status

Doing great!

Receiving & Truck Calendars

Recycling cares what is on the Receiving & Truck Calendars because:

we may need to offload pallet-ized donations
we may need to loan volunteers to offload loose donations
we may need to provide pallets to help with loose donations

-*Small Steel - This is the red recycling tub on the floor in the middle aisle.  Small steel pieces such as the faceplates from daughter boards and numerous other forms are easier to dump into the bin than standing on your head in the mad max cart to gather a thousand little pieces and throw handfuls of them into the air.

-*Stainless steel - Inside of computers, one runs across a lot of shiny thin metal.  Some of it is stainless steel, most of it is just steel.  A cardboard box is there to sort the stainless into.  Only a magnet knows for sure.  Magnets are affixed to the waist height edge of the workbench in several places.  If the shiny metal is held to the magnet after you let go, it is steel, it should be placed in the Mad Max cart or the small steel, depending on its size.  If it slides off the magnet or will barely stick at all, it is stainless and should be put in the box.

-*Aluminum - A cardboard barrel.  This is the place for aluminum which is mostly encountered as heat sinks from on top of processors. Aluminum can be identified with a magnet, it is metal that will not stick at all.  This qualification may confuse it with stainless, but aluminum is rarely used as thin or shiny, it is usually colored and thick.  Quite often there will be some kind of steel apparatus to hold a heat sink to a motherboard, this should be removed and placed in the small steel bin.  Fans are also embedded in heat sinks and should be removed and placed with the fans.

-*Fans - This cardboard barrel is for any fans that are found inside the computers.  It is not necessary nor is it recommended that volunteers open up power supplies to remove those fans.
+== Why we do it - external links to more info ==
-*Speakers - Most computers have a naked speaker inside of them, this cardboard barrel is where they go.
-*Hard Drives - This cardboard barrel is for the hard drives (which are frequently mistaken for floppy drives).  You should point out the obvious difference between them; hard drives have no door to allow things to be put inside.  You may need to explain this many times if hard drives keep showing up in the motor bin.  Floppy drives should be removed from this barrel and placed in the motor bin while or before emptying this barrel into the gaylord of hard drives out on the warehouse floor.

-*Batteries- These toxic nastys are to be gathered and sorted in to 4 basic types:#1 alkaline #2 NiCad #3 lithium #4 Button cells.Once they are sorted they are to be sealed in 5 gallon buckets and labeled properly.Once the buckets are labeled they can live by the stack of broken down gaylord boxes.Due to leakage of batteries latex gloves should be worn during this process .
