== How to Handle Common Things We Receive == === PCs === Keep anything intact that has a Core 2 Duo (or equivalent) or newer. Anything older should be E-wasted or used for parts if possible. We generally keep memory (DDR2 or DDR3), power supplies, PCI cards, and drives, and E-Waste the rest (Computer Case). PCs, even with some parts removed, can be used to pay ewaste recyclers for taking the rest of our crap. === Monitors === We don't want CRTs - they're large, put out a lot of heat, and are difficult to dispose of. LCD monitors should be tested to see if they're working, and then labeled with a piece of a tape and a sharpie with the date they were tested, and whether they work or not. Also checked for obvious scratches and made note of. === Commodity Appliances === Examples: scanners, printers, ice makers, coffee machines, etc. Unless it has obvious direct utility in the space (and we don't already have a better one), then we generally Don't want these. If they are already in the space and there is motivation, someone can take these apart for parts/useful subsystems for people to use in projects. Usually only a few parts or subsystems are of any use, which make up a small fraction of the overall bulk of the appliance. The rest is E-wasted. The goal of this wiki page in part is to cut down a lot on unnecessary E-Waste and keep NB sorted with good, useful donations.
