Appleton Makerspace Lost And Found
The lost and found shelf system has 3 stages (each with it's own section of the shelf and labeled by 3 signs on magnets).
1) "Going Once"
- This is where all lost and found items start.
- The original owner of the item is allowed to remove it from this shelf, but no scavenging is allowed.
- At the end of the month, the sign will switch to Stage 2: "Going Twice"
2) "Going Twice"
- This ensures that even items that are put on the shelf on the 29th of the month are given a full 30 days to be reclaimed by the original owner.
- Same rules as Stage 1. No scavenging allowed.
- At the end of the month, the sign will switch to Stage 3: "Gone"
3) "Gone"
- At this point, all items on the shelf had at least 30 days to be removed.
- All members will have an additional 30 days to scavenge through this shelf before the items are handed over to a scrapper, and interested buyer, or the trash bin.
