During any receiving shift you may be caught with a full group of volunteers and absolutely no donations. What to do with so many willing hands and so few things to do? Slow Time Tasks!
- Monitor Tetris
- Check boxes for properly wrapped cords.
- Cleaning.
- Break down boxes.
- Empty Recycling bin and Cardboard rolling cart in hallway, along with recycling bins around table, etc. Take them around the back of the building, empty cardboard into big rolling bin and leave the Blue Recycling bin back near the other ones, bringing a new empty one back with you.
- Sort and move receiving boxes to their designated areas - e.g. advanced testing box to advanced testing, steel box to recycling.
- Clean and organize Basic Testing area where speakers, keyboards, and mice are tested..
- Deconstruct floppy disks and sort into their components (Magnetic/non-magnetic metal,trash and dirty plastic) The flimsy circular media is trash. The hard plastic outer shell is dirty plastic. If there aren't any in Receiving, ask in the Recycling Warehouse (Please leave a backstock for Recycling!)
- Sort and break down styrofoam, put it in a garbage bag and take to the warehouse
- Sort batteries, bag all rechargeable batteries to get them ready for shipping. There may be more in the warehouse if box on the shelf is empty.
- Ask the Recycling Warehouse if there are batteries to test (When tested, working ones can go to the store
- Ask the Recycling Warehouse if there are drive rails to deconstruct (separate metal from plastic parts)
- Sort through wall warts that have made their way through the building and brought to receiving to use for speaker testing. Any that are not kept should be brought to the Bulk Buyer area near Printerland.)
Advanced slow time tasks -
- Look through the deconstruction box for things that would be easy to take apart in Receiving (things with just one screw or an easily removed battery
If none of these tasks lasts long enough and it doesn't look like there will be any donations, consider diverting volunteers to another area (ex: Recycling Warehouse) -- But don't forget to ask the area coordinator AND the volunteer!
