# 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
