On Saturday October 26th beginning at 10AM Make Lehigh Valley will be hosting a special event during which we finally eliminate the scrap, abandoned projects and computer piles. Members and the public alike are invited to come participate in helping us disassemble, salvage and scrap all the stuff in the piles. While we’re at it, the Make Lehigh Valley members can provide a wealth of knowledge about whats inside and how things work. MakeLV keeps and sorts certain useful parts we find, and has scrap outlets for all metals, batteries, and PCBs. We’ll need some help keeping all that sorted as well, along with taking out the trash! This is a great chance to check out Make Lehigh Valley and see what we’re all about too.
Please note that this does NOT mean you should bring things you want to scrap as we’re trying to clear out our space.

Although we do have tools and safety gear, it may be advisable to bring along your toolbox – useful items might be gloves, safety glasses, a screw gun, both regular & precision screwdrivers, pliers and cutters. Tools should be marked or otherwise easily identifiable.
We have cataloged what we can out of the abandoned projects pile and contacted the owners. Those without a known owner (but we know it was a project) are listed below. If you do not lay claim to these projects and either a) make your plan for timely completion known, b) store it in your locker if you have one, or c) pick it up and take it with you by Sat 10/26, your project will be up for grabs and scrapped for it’s useful components if not claimed. We are certainly not pressuring anyone with an active project, these have been dormant 6 months or more and are consuming a considerable amount of space.
