[WHY Team:Info] ewaste bin

[Arnout Engelen]

Gotcha, if it's limited to the badges and NFC cards then indeed it's easier to distribute and we don't have to worry about people bringing random ewaste. Sounds like a good initiative to me. 

The Team:Warehouse 'hard' deadline has already past, but I can bring a samla-style bin, unless someone has something more appropriate.

I bet Team:Warehouse will do a 'distribute stuff to hackerspaces' initiative that we can piggy-back on, after the event. Does anyone know or should we check with them?


Kind regards,

Arnout

He's talking to Sander who organized a similar 'Keep Ukraine Connected' at MCH, after that they'll likely have a better picture of what they're expecting. From https://wiki.why2025.org/Team:Waste it looks like they have electronic waste on their radar as well but no specific plans yet. Let's wait until Aid to Ukraine knows what they expect and then ask Team:Waste if they'd be interested in taking care of this and whether they'd like our help?
