Lost and Found
Per Meeting 2022-08-31:
Items that are left out without a label, left in working areas, or haven't been worked on in over two weeks may find themselves in the lost & found bins. We maintain two bins: one for the current month, and one for the previous month. New items go into the current month's bin. As of June 2025 they are located on the west wall, on the bottom shelf between the sewing stuff and the wood rack. At the end of each month, all items in the preceding month's bin are dealt with and the month label it updated to make it the new month's bin. This gives people at least a month to retrieve their lost items.
Ideally the bin switchover happens immediately after the monthly member meeting when there are lots of people around to deal with items, but if not anyone may do so at a later date, following procedure.
Deal with items remaining in lost and found by, preferentially:
- Assimilating it into the space if it's a common consumable or otherwise belongs in existing storage.
- Convincing someone to take it home with them.
- Throwing it in the trash.
