Sudo is in the middle of a massive cleanup/reboot and a lot of stuff that has never (and will never) be used is being tossed out.  In this case, the waste pile is a bit inevitable, but I agree generally that we need a better plan for waste then the one we have now.  Unfortunately, itemizing this particular pile for waste pickup is going to be nearly impossible and most of the entries would need to fit into the “other” section of the form.  By the time the reboot is over there will likely be a pile at least twice that size.

Lets schedule a dump day to collectively haul this shite on a day when other stuff is active (so we can get the most volunteers).  Who has a large box truck to lend?

If the inflow of garbage into the space isn't stop, this will always be a problem. Sudo Room is not (as far as I know) an E-waste collection point, members and non-members(!) need to stop treating it as such, no matter how useful they think their "donation" will be (to someone else).

I believe that is precisely the purpose of my reply providing the link to our ewaste pickup service :) but I do strongly agree we should find a better location for temporary junk storage than the entrance to the space. 

btw, the purple tape on the floor is there to indicate clearance for a wheelchair-accessible path into the space. and if anyone replies that "no wheelchair users even come here" you will feel my Death Glare all the way from New York.

Why don't we instead encourage people to not put trash in a pile on the floor?

by the way, a reminder that we can schedule a free ewaste pickup through omni's new recycling org, CiviCorps. doing so does require that the pile be fairly organized, and the following form filled out that lists how many of different kinds of ewaste we have (eg; hard drives, printers, "other electronics" ftw!) - oh, and cords&cables they'll take and we don't have to count : http://www.civicorpsrecycling.org/e-waste-pick-request-form/

there is a bicycle frame without wheels, a fender, and five wheels and three
tires floating around sudoroom, as well as two bicycles that do not belong to
anyone who is here right now.

I don't think people should be using sudoroom as a place to store their
vehicles, and large projects like bicycles should not be stored here except for
very limited situations like a project that takes more than one day.

People have been working very hard on cleaning up the space and the electronics
waste pile is huge.  It will be cleared out soon and I hope we can deal with
the bicycles too, and then we can start looking at other large items like the
embroidery machine and juki sewing machine table, and get those out of here.

If anyone knows whose bicycle frame and wheels these are, or whose whole
bicycles these are being stored here, please ask them to take them somewhere
else when they're not visiting sudoroom.

what do people think of that?
