[sudo-discuss] E-waste in trash room

[Patrik D'haeseleer]

Hi all,

I'm not sure who left all the electronics trash in the trash room, but in
matter such as these, my eye turns towards Sudo...

Please know that E-Waste does NOT GO IN THE REGULAR TRASH! In fact, it is
ILLEGAL to dump electronics with regular trash in California, and we can be
fined for doing so.

E-Waste is terrible for the environment, and needs to be recycled
separately. So don't just toss a bunch of junk in the trash room and expect
someone else to deal with it!

I would strongly recommend that Sudo sets up an e-Waste recycling container
somewhere (maybe with a smaller container on the side for batteries) and
then organizes a dropoff whenever it starts filling up. (Also a good place
to scavenge for interesting parts for reuse, naturally!)

The oakland wiki lists a number of places that will recycle or reuse
electronics waste, including cell phones, appliances, and batteries of all
sorts:
