You are part of a technical team that has been assigned to decommission a group of older servers and computers in a financial office and then install the new equipment over the weekend. It’s late on Sunday, and all of the old equipment is packed in boxes and ready for shipping, but the boxes the new equipment came in are still lying on the floor. What should you do?

A. Take whatever boxes you may need for your own storage or for moving.

B. Tear down the boxes and leave them by the front door for the cleaning crew to deal with.

C. Take the boxes outside and leave them by the nearest dumpster.

D. Tear down the boxes and place them in the nearest dumpster.

D. Tear down the boxes and place them in the nearest dumpster.

When you are responsible for a hardware and operating system rollout project, you are responsible for all of the activities involved in the project from beginning to end. That includes cleaning up afterward, which means breaking down all of the cardboard boxes and properly disposing of them in a garbage dumpster or, if available, a recycling bin.
