Box Storage Guidelines
Each member is entitled to a box; your box must be clearly labelled with your full name or a unique nickname.
Things you SHOULD NOT store in your box
Dangerous / Flammable Chemicals.
Lithium batteries need to be in a safe charging-bag; Lithium charging bags are cheap. http://bit.ly/1H9qTq9
Perishable food - this can be stored in the kitchen, ideally with a label including your name and date left.
Perishables left in the kitchen for overlong periods of time are liable to be disposed of without warning, especially if they are unlabelled, judged to be past their sell by date, or appear abandoned.
Large Projects
If you’re taking up a lot of space with a project, you should ask someone from the Committee for permission to store the item. Oversized items need to be clearly labelled with your name, and there is an assumption that they are being worked on. We don't want to have a Space full of abandoned projects!
