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:

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.

Best,
John
