For the go ahead a few weeks ago to scrap three old scanners at work. It took a solid month our so to get then pulled down from the tallest shelf in the shop, but down they are now. Gonna guess they’re a total of something like 200 pounds. These are only desktop scanners if you live in communist Russia where desk sits at you.
I’m positive that I had top explain why I wanted to do it a dozen times.
Motors, rails, gears, sensors, solenoids, random other parts, big hulking sheets of glass. Rest goes to the recycler.
Vs.
Put scanner in electronic recycling pile. Puke put in cargo container. Cargo container shipped to the coast of (poor other side of Pacific country). Container dumped out. Acid rain leaches out all the toxic heavy metals which form pools that children wage through looking for things with a trace of gold.
So during my breaks, I’m getting free parts. Woot. Unfortunately I have the scanners and two weeks…
No rest for the wicked.
