[Noisebridge-discuss] New donations

[Will Sargent]

Sweet.  That takes care of at least some of the electronics.

I have access to a truck, so at this point it's a question of determining
what needs to be labeled.

Here's the proposal:

 * Labels, instructions and a marker will provided to the trash room.
 * Stuff in the trash room gets clearly labeled with a "remove on" date.
 * Any special instructions should be also written on a label.
 * Anything that is there on or after the date labeled, gets taken to the
dump, or to e-waste.
 * Pick up will start 3 pm Sunday and continue on a weekly basis until
demand slacks off.
 * Whoever takes out the trash will be reimbursed by Noisebridge for city
dump costs.
 * If you don't want it to be trashed, take the label off and take it out of
the trash room.
 * Stuff found without a label will be NOT be trashed, and taken out of the
trash room.

Will.
