− | We've got some guidelines on how we manage donations:
| + | Out-of-date page deleted. |
− | | + | |
− | * thank you!
| + | |
− | * don't dump stuff here
| + | |
− | * if it's on the list of stuff we want - that's great (make sure once you've donated that it gets crossed off the list!)
| + | |
− | * if it's big / complex / costly then talk to committee about it (for now, email the Google Group)
| + | |
− | * if it's a loan be prepared to take it back (if requested to) or lose it
| + | |
− | * we don't buy stuff from individuals - if you have something to sell, put it on ebay and we might buy it (guarantees that we pay market rate, but also means we get the best kit for Makespace)
| + | |
− | * Things that are donated need to comply with our [[Hazardous Materials]] rules; if it's electrical you might need to check the [[electrical safety policy]]

− | (If you are wondering why we don't just accept anything, it's because:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * some items would cost us money to dispose of (if large / heavy / hazardous materials)
| + | |
− | * we haven't got infinite storage space
| + | |
− | * some items, even if we can use them, will cost us money in insurance or other costs, so the donation might mean we end up with a liability
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | And if you loan something, be prepared that it might be stolen, broken, or damaged in some way, and that if we decide it's too costly in money/space/time to keep, be prepared to take it back, so we don't have to pay for disposal.)
