Bil Burton works with surplused computers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This week’s Staff Spotlight features Bil Burton.<\/p>\n

Who: <\/b>Bil Burton, User Support Analyst for Surplus for the last twenty years. [sigh]<\/p>\n

What he does here:<\/b><\/p>\n

I aid in the resales of surplus properties collected by our department, most of my time is spent on refurbishing and reinstall computer equipment.<\/p>\n

One fave thing about his\u00a0job:<\/b><\/p>\n

I do like fixing things. Repairing and reselling equipment is probably part of my DNA.<\/p>\n

If he could improve one thing about waste reduction at OSU:<\/b><\/p>\n

I would ask that we more closely examine the \u201cneed\u201d to replace computer equipment just because it is old. I think most computers can continue to run as designed long after they have been replaced, that they should be replaced only if they did not meet the technical needs of the user.<\/p>\n

This post is part of the\u201dRecycling\/Surplus Staff Spotlight<\/a>\u201d\u00a0blog series, which\u00a0showcases staff from Campus Recycling and Surplus Property and\u00a0will run regularly\u00a0during the summer.\u00a0Tune in\u00a0throughout the summer\u00a0for more.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
