I agree with adam and have the following suggestions:
- the dedicated e-waste container should be situated on a pallet capable of
being easily moved by the sudo’s pallet jack. The container should be
relatively durable, ie iat least of the double-walled cardboard made to
cart around dirt.
- when it is full, we agree to offer a bounty on the sudo list ($25/hr?)
for removal to CTRC, or for example arrange for Lukas (with his lift gate
truck) to dispose for a set fee.
- for when there are really big loads: The Computer & Technology Resource
Center (ewastecollective.org) are pretty dedicated toward re-use. For
pickup outside of berkeley, usually it’s $100/trip (though disposal at
their location is usually free). However once they checked out omni - as I
had multiple 10-yard pallets to move out of omni recently - they said
they’d consider doing it for free next time given our mission and since
we’re pretty close to berkeley. So, we might hit them back up on that.
- I do think the most important near-term task is going through all of
sudo’s stuff and culling it to kind of ‘get back to zero’, and so future
e-waste runs will be easier and more modest in scope. I’m happy to assist
with that but I’d need someone more in touch with active projects at sudo
to safely do that with. (I feel like the mesh cage might be a good place to
start, at least getting it a bit tidier?)

I think we should post prominently in the space a sign
requiring
dropoffs to get pre-approval through the donations(a)lists.sudoroom.org
list - or at list a description of acceptable vs unacceptable donations.
Re: e-waste pickup - this is a service freely available to us through
Omni's local recycling vendor, CiviCorps. At one point we'd had a list
of forms and description of process in the space, though I am guessing
this is no longer a visible thing. We need to inventory ewaste for
weekly pickups and scheduling via
http://www.civicorpsrecycling.org/ewaste/
Thank you for all the work you've done on this to date, Joule, Jake &
others <3

I'm not in agreement that sudoroom's
interaction with e-waste equals
cancer,
but I'm very sorry that you're having to deal with a skin tumor, i'm sure
that's very stressful.
As for the e-waste at sudoroom, I'm planning to do an e-waste run after a
session of sorting with another sudoer, within the next two weeks.
I did recently help fix and sell the fridge and earned sudoroom $210
while
clearing up some space. I have also been putting hours of work into
sorting
ewaste and moving things along and out of the space, every tuesday night.

To unsubscribe send an email to sudo-discuss-leave(a)sudoroom.org I'm no longer strong enough to keep cleaning
up, and some of the
e-waste
that shows up is genuinely dangerous, like a UV laser that appears
to have
given me vascular tumors.
Appear benign, but, punching a hole in my genome has really kicked my
survival instinct into high gear and I don't want anything to do with
e-waste anymore.
Holy shit, I'm so sorry. That is awful and I don't blame you for
stepping
back after something like that.
Where is all this stuff coming from?
