Attached is an example of the mail failer msg. I recieved when I replied
to Amy Perlmutter's msg. about the problem of getting messages that
messages didn't go through when they try to post on the listserve, even
when their messages do actually get through.
Let me know if there is a fix.

Reply to: RE>Computer recycling -- urgent need
Steve,
US EPA funded a series of four booklets (aprox. 50pgs.) on reuse as an
important economic development and waste reduction strategy. These were
produced by the Institute For Local Self Reliance, and were just released in
the last couple of months. (I don't have a copy, but I coppied some pages out
of the one I saw) The one you want is, "Plug Into Electronics Reuse" by Brenda
Plat and Jennifer Hyde. This is a great resource, the appendix has almost
three full pages of one liner contacts (156 of them) for "Electrinocs Reuse
and Recycling Operations" nation wide.
If you can't find it, and still need more options, contact me and I will FAX
you the three pages.
The other booklets are on pallets, textiles, and everyday items...

Subject: Computer recycling -- urgent need
A Bronx-based company recently contacted me seeking assistance in the
"proper" disposal or reuse of a great deal of old computer equipment. The
material must be out of their facility by October 15th.
They have approximately 20-25 pallets full of old B/W monitors, PC Jrs,
286s, 386s, and some 486s. They also have a number of older model laser
printers, and a lot of dot matrix printers. Some of the equipment still
works, but I can't hazard a guess as to whether its's 10% of the items or
80% of the items.
Does anyone have any ideas for them?
Thanks.

Subject: Double-sided printing
Seems like simple things are never that simple when you try to
implement them. To cut down on the amount of paper we waste on draft
reports and memos, we have been trying to make double-sided printing
our our lasers the default, with an easy override for staff who need
single-sided output when they need it. We've been having some
problems, described below. I'd appreciate input on possible solutions
that some of you may know about.
- Whereas Windows 3.1 had relatively easy options for double-sided
printing, Windows 95 does not seem to. Our only success has been to
install a special printer driver (which would need to be installed on
every single computer in the firm) that mimics our Hewlett Packard.
This solution is neither easy to install or perfect (for example, you
once installed you can ONLY do double-sided printing). Given that
Microsoft now controls about 80 percent of the market for operating
systems, does anybody know if they have developed software patches to
make this simple-but-important ability easy for their millinos of
users? Ideally, we'd like to be able to define a different default
setting for each software package; Excel worksheets often need to be
printed single-sided. This default should be able to be set by our
LAN administrator, rather than requiring each individual user to do
so.
- We have an older Hewlett Packard printer (Laserjet 4M Plus) that has
a duplexing assembly for double-side printing. However, I'm told that
few new printers have this capability as an option. Can this be true?
If Windows can't print double-sided and Hewlett Packard can't print
double-sided, it seems like an enormous way to source reduce is being
missed.
Thanks for any information you might have on how to make
double-sided printing easy and fun for our entire company!

I know of a good used tripple pass natural gas Heil rotary dryer that
was used for dyring peat moss that is available.
There is also a 20,000 insultated steel sludge tank with three mixers.

>From Oct. 1, 1997 Associated Press wire service story by Calvin =
Woodward
and Sept. 29, 1997 Federal Trade Commission press release:
NEW LAW INCLUDES PROVISION THAT MAKES IT EASIER FOR CONSUMERS TO GET OFF
SOME DIRECT MAIL LISTS
Changes to the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act took effect Sept. 30,
1997. =20
Under one provision of the new law, consumers can call toll-free numbers
to remove themselves from lists used by credit-card companies and some
direct marketers to solicit them by mail. Consumers need call only one
of the three major national credit bureaus to get off all such lists.
The special "opt-out" numbers are:
Equifax -- 1-800-556-4711
Experian (formerly TRW) -- 1-800-353-0809
Trans Union -- 1-800-680-7293
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) describes the direct mail provision
of the new law this way:
"Consumers gain protections against unsolicited credit and insurance
offers, including the multiple credit card offers that many consumers
receive on a daily basis. Under the old law, creditors and insurers were
able to use the credit reporting agencies' file information as a basis
for developing lists of consumers to whom they send offers. Under the
new law, consumers can follow a simple procedure to "opt out" of
inclusion on future lists. They can call a toll-free number that each
bureau has established (that will appear prominently on each offer), and
have their name removed from these lists for two years. If they
request, they will be sent a form that will allow them to take their
names off of these credit bureau lists permanently."
The new law is primarily designed to make it easier for consumers to
correct credit-bureau errors. For information on the other provisions
of the law (which do not relate to direct mail), see the entire FTC
press release at this website:

Subject: New Recycling Goal for Pennsylvania
Forwarded from Jeff Schmidt, Sierra Club lobbyist in
Pennsylvania:
Folks,
I've been contacted by state Representative David Argall (R,
Schyulkill County) who plans to introduce a House Resolution
calling for the state to adopt a recycling goal of 35% by the
year 2008.
Pennsylvania State Law Act 101 adopted in 1988 established a
25% recycling goal by 1998. We are currently at about 21%.
Because of Pennsylvania's large rural population (largest in
the US), many say 35% is probably realistic, but a higher goal
would be unfeasible.
I'd be interested in feedback before my meeting with
Representative Argall on October 6.

Subject: The real world in NYC
I support the idea of zero waste or something close to it but....
I work for no pay in the very muddy trenches of New York City citizens'
solid waste advisory boards to the ever-recalcitrant Dept. of Sanitation.
While zero waste is some pie in the sky good eventual goal, we need to move
the next baby step and the one after that. Although the City Council
passed a law in 1988 that required recycling of residential and
institutional trash of 25% by 1994 (we are currently around 15%), and
despite the fact that the City has been brought to court on this repeatedly
over the years (by NRDC, the citywide recycling advisory board, and some
City Council members) and has lost every time (they just keep getting new
deadlines, which they ignore) we persevere to get more items added to the
recycling program and more budget allocated for education. Their waste
prevention program focuses almost exclusively on business waste prevention,
even though businesses already have financial incentives to do it
themselves (commercial quantity-based user fees) and there are other local
organizations involved with business waste prevention. The real challenges
are in the residential sector. We are beating our heads against a brick
wall and we're getting pretty bloody (not to mention, burned out). I guess
I'd feel better about the zero waste movement if I had the feeling it was
more rooted in present day needs and focused on exactly how to move the
proverbial elephant to the next step.

Dear Mr. Hammer,
We have run into a similar problem with old edp equipment. EPA/DEC
reg's seem to indicate that CRT's (and probably CPU) are RCRA
regulated solid wastes. If disposed of, you must use a HAZMAT company
(Manifest etc) if your local EPA/NYS DEC office follows regulatory
letters we have seen. This is obviously very expensive. We have been
shipping the units to a NYS DED certified recycler, eliminating the
disposal requirements. I suggest you contact the NYS DED for an edp
recycler in your area. You might also follow the hotlinks provided at
our HRCC Website at HTTP://www.albanyonline.com/hrcc for computer
recycling.

The working items can definitely be donated to schools, non-profit orgs.,
etc.
As for the non-working items, there might be people that specialize in
restoring computers for resale or for reuse in the non-profit sector.
