For all shop vacs (except for the special instructions; see belog):
- Roll it to the dumpster outside.
- Take off the top and dump the contents into the dumpster.

- Visually check the filter for holes or punctures - if there are any, replace the filter and file a purchase request for additional filters.
- Secure the lid back onto the main body.
- Roll it back to where you found it.
Special Instructions
- The black "Wet Metals" vac typically contains aluminum, just dump it into the Aluminum trash can. Any coolant can be dumped into that trash can too.

- The Jewelry vacuum has a bag and does not need to be changed, the metal in that bag gets sent to be recycled.

Purge the scrap bins
Woodshop
In the woodshop free bin and the free board caddy in the lathe area, remove any wood that:
- Is painted or treated
- Has nails/metal inside
- Is heavily splintered
- Is "swiss-cheesed" with little material to use, etc.
Metalshop
In the metalshop materials bins in the powdercoating area, transfer any unsuitable metals from the suitable bin to the unsuitable bin. Unsuitable metals includes anything:
- Galvanized/coated
- Swiss-cheesed
- Any materials that aren't identifiable as aluminum or carbon steel
The "unsuitable" bin gets picked up by a service periodically. If it is excessively full, tag @TechLeads in your shift report so we can bug the appropriate people.
Studio
In the two scrap bins by the laser cutters:
- Remove any small/unusable pieces
- Remove any pieces not on the allowed materials list (see QR code posted on the top of laser 2)
- Break down any pieces with large voids so they fit nicely within the bins
Verify Tool Tags (Physical & Digital)
Compare Online and Physical Tool States:
- Open https://api.protohaven.org/techs
- Make a note of tools in a yellow or red state.
- Visit each of the tools listed as red or yellow state and verify that there is a physical tag on the tool that matches that state. If the physical tag is missing, place a fresh one.
- Scan for tools with physical tags that do not have a digital yellow or red state.
- Update all tool reports to match the current state of the tool - this may not necessarily be exactly what the tag says. If you're unsure, ask on #maintenance.
