Repetitive

Bar

Try to keep the surfaces clean and clean up accidents. We've been warned about mice. Leaving any food around will attract them and create problems. Think chewed cables and mouse shit everywhere. Check payed drink stock and refill if needed and collect cash (tahtkev).

Dishes

There are to be no dishes left dirty/used. See above for the reason. We do have a dishwasher.

Running the dishwasher

If dishwasher is full with dirty dishes, you can run it. Soap tablets are in the drawer beneath the bar on the right. Tablets should be used without removing the plastic layer.

Steps:

Put a tablet in the designated space and close the little lid
Close the dishwasher
Start it by pushing the button

Emptying the dishwasher

If dishwasher is full with clean dishes, please empty it. Dry if needed and put stuff away.

Vacuuming

Basically once a week should suffice just a quick run around the main room.

Once a month the higher surfaces should be vacuumed with a brush attachment. (window sills, desks and such)

This should keep things nicer for people who are sensitive to dust and dog hair.
Equipment itself will have to be cleaned less often

Tidy up work spaces

Before you leave, make sure the next person to use the place has all the room he or she needs. Don't occupy desk space after you leave, don't leave parts laying about. As a rule of thumb, try to leave the space behind in a tidier state than you found it.

Metal (e)waste can go to designated boxes in the basement.

There are separate collections for different types of copper cables, iron/steel, aluminium, and various PCB materials (with and without gold).

Batteries

There is a little box in the tool room. When it's full, they need to go to Afvalbrengstation or in the designated bins at some stores, for instance Hoogvliet.

Glass/Plastic/Metal drink for returns

In the kitchen there is a box for collecting all drinking containers that have a deposit value. These containers have to be intact in order to be accepted at the supermarket machines.

Non-Repetitive

Reorder space

If you see some place where storage is changed to chaos, try to clear it out with these simple steps;

Clear out a storage place
Sort out the chaos, find the biggest common denominator
Move this to the cleared out place
DOCUMENT both what has moved and what stays behind!!! Post it on the wiki (for example here and/or here)

Document something

If you find something lacking documentation, fix that. Create a page, take a picture, describe what you know and what you can find out yourself. Let others know about your efforts so they can chime in.
