by mrericboyd on Mar.20, 2015, under Events
Junk independence day at hacklab again, Sunday March 22nd! 2-7pm. Bring your e-waste, root around in other people e-waste, and walk home with new treasure! On previous junk independence days people have gone home with wonderful treasures like a 1TB HD, an iPod touch, a decent desktop computer, a classic Macintosh, and various pieces for projects… Anyway, come with your e-waste and have some fun at hacklab! All e-waste will be responsibly disposed of by Revolution Recycling, they are scheduled to pickup stuff at hacklab on Monday March 23rd. Thanks Revolution!

Hey — Are there specific things you *won’t* take? I don’t want to bring the wrong things.

They will take most anything. Previously we requested that people didn’t bring old CRTs, since hacklab didn’t have room for them even for one night, but we can take those now too. Any kind of electronics or electronics associated waste is fine. Metal, batteries, plastic, old devices, whatever. I know from previous experience that they do not take wood. Please also do not bring light bulbs (e.g. CFLs), or toner cartridges (we’re concerned about the huge potential mess these things can make). Almost anything else is fine, bring it on!

Thanks so much for running this event. It felt really good to clean out the basement and have the stuff claimed by people who both appreciate and will actually use it!
