HOWTO Take out the trash

Disposal at a hackerspace has its subtleties as we generate a great diversity of garbage. Toxic waste, e-waste and scrap metal is the user's responsibility for now, until we have better systems in place for dealing with it. Please do not leave it at the space without ample informed consent. If such waste is found at the space, please coordinate its removal with someone who's comfortable with it. Don't just throw it in the trash!

Routine trash and recycling

Regular trash goes to a compactor on the premises. The compactor is located at the west end of the S 5th Ave parking lot (North of AHA!). The compactor requires a code, which is hidden conspicuously in the chore list under the bathroom key. When you arrive at the compactor, it will most likely be locked (otherwise, lucky you). Turn the handle to open the door. If the handle doesn't turn, type in the code, and a mechanical noise will indicate it can be opened. Open the door up and throw the garbage in. When you close and lock the door, the compaction process will begin. Be safe!

Recycling is behind Afternoon Delight in City of Ann Arbor recycling carts (cans). Just find a can with room and throw it in.
