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
