:: I deliberately haven't mentioned the legal fiction of someone bringing something to the space and then immediately deciding to dispose of it in the three-week process. That could still happen, but we can at least make the intent clear.

::: The edit I would propose would be to the [[Guides/Bringing_items_to_the_space]] to re-order the points to emphasize the requirement that some effort should be expended to ensure that the donated items are wanted... so. | |||
==Donations to the space== | |||
Before donating use the following points as a guide: | |||
* '''Will the Hackspace accept the donation?''' - please first start by ''making sure that the organisation is willing to accept the donation'' (as decided by consensus on the [https://groups.google.com/group/london-hack-space mailing list]) then the items are still in your ownership, and it is your personal responsibility to dispose of them once you're asked to do so. This is especially true for large items, or items that require unusual means of disposal (e.g. toxic materials.) | |||
* '''Is it on our [[Wishlist|wishlist]]?''' - if the item is not on our wishlist then check on [[IRC]] or the [https://groups.google.com/group/london-hack-space mailing list] before bringing it into the space. If it is on the wishlist then bring it in - thank you! | |||
* '''Will you be upset if it is thrown away?''' - If it would be difficult for the average hacker to comprehend the intrinstic hack-value of the item then it may end up in our 3 week disposal process. Large items that will not fit through the disposal process could get thrown out without warning. If this does not appeal then it might be better not to donate the item. | |||
* '''Does it meet any of the following criteria?''' - If it doesn't then we probably do not want or need it currently - but thanks for thinking of us!: | |||
** Item is a tool useful for the types of hacking that take place at the space. | |||
** Item is a common part/component that is not scrap. | |||
** Item is in working order and has a reasonable resale value. | |||
** Item can be easily stripped for high value parts. | |||
