- Carefully consider whether an off-cut is really useful to another member. Please don't use the scrap trays as an extension of the bin. Don't leave any work or scrap in the machine. Useful scrap is stored on the rack next to the machine. Waste scrap should be put in the bin. When the bin is full remove and tie bag, Roden House dump in skips, see Waste and Recycling Initiative.
- Tidy up after yourself! Please clean up a bit more mess than you made! If you drop something on the floor, please pick it up. Dirty cups should go in the dish washer, drinks cans and pizza boxes in the bin and put tools back were they belong.
- Please pick up all off-cuts / loose parts from the bed, so it's ready for the next user.
- Consider volunteering to help a hackspace team and contributing to the running of the hackspace.
