## General Info
|
||||
|
||||
This will be a small meetup where the fourth-year students will pass on their knowledge of the best
|
||||
spots on campus to find free e-waste.
|
||||
|
||||
You might get your hands dirty, since we are going to be dumpster diving, but you might also walk
|
||||
away with some new hardware! Be ready to do some walking since the locations are fairly spread out.
|
||||
|
||||
Open to all who are interested.
|
||||
|
||||
## What to Expect
|
||||
|
||||
There are almost always free office-grade monitors and keyboards to be found. It's also fairly
|
||||
common to see decade-old PCs with RAM and HDDs, provided that no one else scavenged them first.
|
||||
Sometimes, valuable stuff gets thrown away like oscilloscopes, Macs from < 10 years ago, CRTs, NVMe
|
||||
SSDs, and PCs from the 1980s (as featured at the [Spring Installfest](/events/installfest-s24)).
|
||||
|
||||
The more valuable stuff could require some repairs, but it's not too difficult for a seasoned EE
|
||||
student. Actually, it might surprise you how much perfectly working stuff gets thrown out. Lots of
|
||||
the hard drives from labs don't even get wiped, and we've found adult content on them before...
|
||||
|
||||
Your chances of finding something cool will go up the more regularly you check!
