I agree, absolutely not a Tech responsibility, but it is a general
IMC need.<br>
<br>
A spot for IMC electronics recycling is a great idea. I hesitate to
use Room 26, because it will tend to fill before something's done
about it.<br>

Maybe it would be best to hold this sort of stuff in either the
boiler room or the janitor room, as we already hold bulbs for
recycling there? That way it won't be totally out of sight, out of
mine and will remind us that it needs to go when a critical mass is
reached and an event is upcoming.<br>
<br>

I know this stuff will sort of be in the way once there's very much
accumulated, but that's the point -- to remind us it needs to leave
then. Does this sound like it can work? Maybe stack it under the
duct area at the north end of the janitor room?<br>
<br>
Then the designated spot for electronic recycling could be by the
door to the janitor room, which would also be less in the way in the
hall that at Room 26. And since you're in there almost daily, it
could be moved into the janitor room spot to await the next
recycling run.<br>

Tech will help other groups find appropriate means of recycling
non-functioning, or upgraded equipment. A prime example is when
Jay Schubert & I hauled all the old crap out of room 26 when
there was a recycling event on campus. <br>
<br>
What we won't do is be every group's storage dumping ground for
equipment you feel isn't working or needs replaced. Taking the
monitor to Makerspace without telling anyone is a good example of
this. This type of thing can easily take over Tech's time. Time we
could be spending working on the really awesome stuff that is
getting mentioned by our board members at a national level. We are
not the IMC's electronics recycler.<br>
<br>
I'd like to suggest that the finance sub-group which deals with
building space issues designate a place for non-functioning
computer equipment that needs to be recycled by all working groups
and issue communications about that so that folks know what to do
with it. Maybe that's room 26. When a recycling opportunity
presents itself, tech will pitch in to help, but it should
probably be coordinated with the building manager.<br>

I'm cc-ing this to Tech in case they have an interest in it
(or Makerspace maybe?) for parts. etc.<br>
<br>
Otherwise, recycle it once Tech has had a chance to weigh
in.<br>
