People have good intentions. I remember at the Fablab discussion Roy
gave a couple of years back during one of the open days, the following
conversation tangents wildly when someone said they had access to lots
of old computers (being gradually disposed of by a college IIRC), and that we should be fixing them up to give to
people. Simon pointed out that there was already a room full of computers piled up that nobody wants, for various reasons.<br><br>I'd be happy to lend a hand cataloguing what is in the room, and suggesting what could be dumped. Given the nature of the communal space the question of ownership may be a problem. Perhaps it would be worth while if anyone has items the specifically wish to be kept, they get marked in some way (like a PAT(est) sticker or something similar). We could then make the inventory available along with our suggestions of what should go, people could then either state that an item should be kept or could clam it and take it away.<br>

Maybe the thing to do mark the "junk" ones somehow. I'm going to be in the space a bit more over the next month or so & would be happy to leave with some stuff to take to the recycling centre. I just don't want to toss anything that shouldn't go...<br>
<br>
How about I drop of some red dots that can be put on the junk?<br>

That's only half the junk that was there. Last clear out even cost money to dispose of monitors and the council don't take to kindly to any more than two computers dumped (at their recycle dep) by any one person at a time. I had to make numerous trips to different depots to get rid of them. Maybe if folk took a bit of junk kit away with them - to do what they wish with - every now and again, could clear some cubby holes. Bob<br>
