Update on the Reclaim Program

Hi everyone,

We’ve made some changes to how reclaim is handled in the ceramics studio, and we want to make sure everyone’s in the loop. Here’s what’s new:

  1. No More Volunteer-Run Reclaim
    Reclaim will no longer be processed by volunteers.

  2. Unwanted Clay Buckets
    Instead of separate slop buckets, we now just have Unwanted Clay buckets. Everything goes in there, and when they’re full, the contents will be taken to the dumpster.

  3. Two Buckets at a Time
    Only two buckets will be out. They’re lined with garbage bags, and heavier-duty liners are on the way.

  4. Extra Liners
    In case the heavy-duty liners haven’t arrived yet, extra bags are available by the sink where the tools are stored. Please use those if needed.

  5. Fill Line
    Each bucket has a line marking the max limit (like the dust collector in the woodshop). If your slop reaches that line, just pull out the bag, take it to the dumpster, and replace it with a new liner.

  6. No Extra Buckets
    Please don’t put out more buckets when the two in use are full.

  7. Dumpster Access
    The current dumpster outside is a little tall, so tossing in heavy bags can be tricky — but still doable. We’re looking into whether a shorter one is possible.

  8. Self-Reclaim
    Members are encouraged to do their own reclaim. Hardie boards are available outside for this.

  9. Storage
    We won’t be providing extra space for reclaim projects. If you’re leaving clay to dry overnight, please make sure it fits on your shelf.

Thanks for helping keep the studio running smoothly and for adapting with us as we fine-tune this system!
