+Please don't mark your keycard with “Hackspace” or with the address, as this makes it very easy for someone to break in if they find your keycard in the street.

 **We expect anyone asked to stop a harassing behaviour to do so immediately**. Do not ever put your opinions or desires before the comfort of others.
 If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, do not ignore it. If you can, challenge the behaviour directly. If you can not challenge the behaviour, please contact the Directors. If the offender is a Director, you can contact another Director directly.

+===== Hackspace usage =====
+==== Do not hack ====
+Do not hack (or remove) Hackspace’s infrastructure and tools, or other member’s project stuff.
+Do not tamper with the safety interlocks (including access control boxes) on our tools and equipment.
+Do not compromise or hack any part of the Bristol Hackspace network infrastructure, including our internet connection and WiFi network.
+Our network infrastructure is shared with Meridian Studios, so please be considerate of other building tenants and refrain from doing anything which may interrupt other peoples' ability to use the connection.
+Any use of the network must be compliant with UK law, do not use the Hackspace network for illegal file sharing.
+==== Waste and recycling ====
+Please see our dedicated [[manual:waste|waste and recycling policy]], but in summary:
+  * Take your waste home if the bins are full.
+  * **We do not accept solid wood, lithium batteries, or other hazardous waste.**
+  * Do not dispose of food waste in the Hackspace (use the building skip outside).
+  * Use the correct bins.
+  * The building's skip is locked to prevent fly-tipping. There is a key hanging on a hook in the cupboard under the stairs.
+==== Fair use ====

 ===== Donations and stuff for hacking =====

 This stuff is one of the things that makes Hackspace special, so we encourage everyone to donate useful quality surplus stuff for others to hack. That being said, there are rules around what we will accept. See our [[policies:drafts:donations|Donations policy]] for the full rules, but in summary:
 We have dedicated areas for donations. **If there is no room for your donation, or it doesn't fit on the shelves, please take it away again**. You can offer it to other members via the forum instead.
-**Never leave donations anywhere else in the space, especially the Woodshop or Metalshop**

+Donating things for others to hack is as an opportunity to support other members’ projects by giving them cool and useful stuff. Do not treat it as an opportunity to get rid of your rubbish!
-  * Sorted common parts, hardware, components, and materials.

-We don't want:
+**No printers!** (yes we have to say this one explicitly).

 ==== Tool and Equipment donations ====
@@ Line 191: / Line 227: @@
 Sometimes members wish to donate a tool to the hackspace for other members to use. Donating a tool for general use requires prior approval through our [[manual:proposals|proposals process]]. Do not 'donate' your surplus tools to Hackspace without raising a proposal first to see if we actually want them.
+===== Be safe =====
+In addition to this document you must follow the rules and information in our [[policies:drafts:hackspace_safety|Hackspace Safety]] document too. This includes familiarising yourself with our fire escape procedure.
