[Noisebridge-discuss] Filth and residents, topics for Tuesday

[Frantisek Apfelbeck]

Hi to all,
If you get rid of the dishes people will bring new ones and it will start all 
over again it is not solution. It would be the same like taking all the 
soldering equipment from the electronic lab which was often disorganised too and 
throwing them out, same will happen people will bring new equipment.

Strengthening the community is the way to go, regular food/beverage events which 
ensure cleaning of the space can sort this out as they did in the past.

Compost bin is great idea, however even with the best interest on my mind I was 
never strong enough to believe that the compost bin will work. I was worried of 
the smell and rats in case that we fail to take care about it properly as we did 
so many times with the usual garbage.

Concerning the filth in the place I suggest to move some resources towards 
hiring someone to clean the place as I've been told was the case in the old 
location and it was suppose to work out quite pretty well.

Sincerely,

Frantisek

I stated before that I'd like to just box up dishes that are left in
the sink for more than a day and donate them to Thrifttown. That
actually got people to clean them up more regularly for a while at
least.

We also now have an ongoing fly problem too. We need to work out a
cover for the bucket.
