How to do a Basic Member Storage purge

Storage is moderated daily for safety and proper storage, 2-3x weekly for tag dates, and 1x monthly

Daily Moderation

Check that all stored goods adhere to policy and are stored safely. Red tag anything that doesn’t work. Very unsafe conditions should be dealt with right away.

Tag Date Checks

Check the dates on Blue and Gold tags. Add red tags where needed.

Monthly Purge

Step 1 – Gather all the stuff

  • Check that for any recent “to be distributed” Gold tags
  • This is generally done on a mid-month Wednesday
  • Put up a table in the flex area and gather all the red-tagged items from all Basic Member storage areas (except extra large lumber and sheet goods in the workshop – See below)
  • Gather all the expiring (items that will expired by the Part 2 date) red tag items in the flex area on the table
  • Add anything in Lost and Found
  • Post pictures of all the red-tagged stuff to general telling them how long they have to get their stuff

*Please take photos of large lumber and sheet good expired tags. They will be posted with the table photo.

Step 2 – Two Days Later

  • This is generally done late Friday afternoon
  • Distribute any materials to for general member use
  • Absorbe anything that the org can use
  • Bag and dumpster the rest
  • Return cleared bins to various storage areas
