	This is a draft of a collaborative document for outlining the sort of electronic donations PS:1 is willing to accept. This document is necessary because people tend to believe that any old electronics could have value to a hackerspace. The reality, though, is that much of this sort of thing simply becomes a burden because it needs to be thrown away. A lot of members have invested significant amounts of work to get our space clean, and limbo is currently nearly full to the brim with valueless e-waste.
