All,
In case you missed it, here is how the trash disposal is (hopefully)
going to work for this month. In future months this should continue,
but it won't be this aggressive.
From June 1 through June 8 "junk" was placed in the taped off area in
the hackerspace labeled "TRASH". No junk should be entering the area
right now.
This Saturday, June 12, we will host a Salvage Day at which we
encourage you to stop by and take things away that have value to you.
Please place anything you take into your personal storage area or take
it home. We will also be taking some of the junk apart to scavenge
useful components, etc. After Saturday, we will be attempting to
dispose of anything that is left in the Junk Area. So - at least in
theory - don't expect anything to be there when you come next Tuesday.
Starting on next Tuesday, June 15, the Junk Area will be open again
for items to migrate in. It will be open for one week again and then
there will be a moratorium week for people to come and take what they
want away. Then we may or may not hold another Salvage Saturday on
June 26 depending on if folks are available. Finally, we'll haul
everything away again on or before Tuesday, June 29.
We still haven't found destinations for all the junk we expect to
have. We think we can take some to CCC, some to HCDOES, some to 2TRG,
and put some of it in the dumpster. We'd like to keep it as
environmentally friendly as possible. As I said, we'd like to nail
down where it will go so that it can be gone by next Tuesday.
Volunteers to help contact the disposal destinations mentioned above
(or others) would be welcome.
Remember, not everything in the Junk Area is completely worthless. If
you brought something to the space and don't want it thrown away, you
might want to double check to see if it's in the Junk Area between now
and next Tuesday. Also, much of the equipment is perfectly good and
is free to a good home - it just can't live at the hackerspace. So
stop by if you get a chance.
The goal is to do this Junk Disposal Cycle approximately once a month,
including a regularly scheduled Take-Apart Saturday.
If you have any questions, or concerns, let us know.
