Training Manual for Volunteers of the Fort Collins Bike Coop

Shop Rules

Every Person Using the facility is required to:

  • Leave no trace
    • Put all tools away before you go
    • Don't leave any parts, supplies, grease cans, lube bottles laying around.
    • Put everything back the way you found it.
    • Check your pockets, did you forget about that wrench?
  • Tag Everything Related to your project
    • All Parts left untagged will be put back into the community bins
  • Tool Breakage
    • Tools get old and break, that's the way things go
    • Let the Lead Volunteer know so that a new tool can be ordered
  • Clean the grease off any parts you didn't use before they go back into the community bins

Everyday Procedures

Opening Shop

  • The Shop should be pristine and ready to start the day right when you come in.
    • If the shop isn't then make it that way, make a note of what's out of place, and let the shop Coordinator know.
  • Check the answering machine and take notes for the messages left.
  • Check the "Things To Do" board and take care of anything that needs to be done before opening.
  • Check outside to see if any donations were improperly dumped out front.

Closing Shop

  • Make sure all workstations have all tools.
  • Make sure all workstations are clean.
    • Return any unused parts to the community bins
  • Leave notes on the "Things To Do" board of unresolved issues for the next day.

Recycling

We Recycle Steel, Aluminum, Rubber, and all paper products

  • Aluminum

  • Steel
    • Magnetic
    • Rust=Steel
