A brief note to express my support for the Alameda County Computer Resource Center, an outfit not far from my home that has done creative work over the years in restoring and finding new homes for donated or broken electronic equipment that would otherwise be headed to landfill. I’ve donated my share of stuff to the ACCRC over the years. Now it seems that the center has been targeted by a government inspector for technical infractions of the regulations regarding recycling centers.
I’m no expert in that area of the law. But I know a good organization when I see it. ACCRC is such an outfit. If there are issues or problems with how ACCRC does its thing the government should be helping it achieve compliance, not threatening to shut it down.
Dale Dougherty of O’Reilly has the scoop. You can also read ACCRC founder James Burgett’s version of the saga. I’ve already written to the state agency involved; Burgett’s blog has more info.
