Don't really know what happened to that SGI box, think it went into the containers, and to whatever downstream processor is next after the collection point. Some very small amount of hardware that looked in good condition was harvested/triaged and diverted somewhere, I really don't know who was doing that. There is some information here: http://www.eday.org.nz/about-eday.asp#whathappens If more people from wlug wanted to get involved, we would have more influence about how the material is sorted at the collection point and further processed.

Some wlug members volunteered at eday this year, here are some photos:

Was the SGI Indigo (green computer in 6th image) saved? It would be a shame to see it destroyed in the name of recycling.
