This past Saturday, November 14th, hack.rva hosted it’s first Electronics Recycling Swap Meet. By 9AM members of the River City’s first hacker space gathered at their (not so) secret lair to serve as a receiving station for unwanted computers, peripheral devices, and other electronics. Thanks go out to all those who attended and those who brought equipment in for recycling. As a result of the awesome participation in this event hack.rva was able to take in numerous desktop and laptop computers, loaded and empty rack mount server cases, ink jet printers, monitors, and even cameras and cordless phones; all in various stages of functionality ranging from working to dismembered bits and pieces. These devices will miss the landfill and instead be reassembled / reconditioned and put to use by the geeks who love them. Stay tuned for the next hack.rva event!
