e-waste recycling event open to the public

Actually, if you have an eWaste pickup event that collects equipment both from your project building and the public, you have a chance to earn two points. Track the material collected from your project building and submit those totals for MRc8, and then document materials dropped off by the public (or brought from employees' homes) as a separate Innovation credit. Be sure to include a description of how you marketed the event and how materials were tracked and stored. This has been used as a successful Innovation strategy by many past projects.

Jason and/or others: Would this strategy (occupants bringing electronics waste from home) count as standard innovation point or exemplary performance? Has it successfully been through LEED review? I.E., Jason, by "separate innovation credit" do you mean that it would NOT be categorized as exemplary performance of MRc8? I have a project that has the maximum of 3 EP points, and I'd like to know if this strategy has been successfully awarded an a regular innovation point. Thanks in advance.

It is a common innovation point. The key is tracking "personal" e-waste separate from the e-waste generated as part of ongoing business in the building.
