3.2 Sorting
Most equipment is going to come into the facility via the receiving dock door on an
individual basis. As it does so, each new piece of equipment will be placed by the
collections attendant into a black receiving bin labeled ‘computer equipment only’. The
sorter receives a Donation Slip along with the equipment in the bin. The slip is then taped
to the equipment for the technician to read at processing time.
Care and concern should be exercised at all times when handling electronics
equipment. Mishandling during the sorting process is a common cause of damage to
donated equipment.
The sorting process divides incoming parts into simple initial categories.
The sorter first separates televisions from all other computer equipment.
Televisions are then separated into these categories:
 Small televisions (less than 19”)
 Large televisions (19” or greater)
