-## Trash Procedures 
- 
-If the space has accumulated too much trash (especially food waste trash), then please throw them out ASAP. Food waste left alone at the space for a few days will cause a horrible stink, even if they're in the trash can. 
- 
-If for some reason you cannot throw out the trash, please try to make a note of this via chat. 
- 
-### Throwing Out the Trash 
- 
-> **Note:** READ THIS VERY CAREFULLY 
-> 
-> Skipping a step or two **might cause you to be locked out in the stairway**. Be extremely careful when navigating throughout the building, and do NOT enter places you're not supposed to. 
-> 
-> If you're doing this at night or in the dark, **make sure you carry your phone** in case of emergency or for when you need a flashlight. 
-> 
-> If you're uncertain or this is your first time doing this, please **reach out to a member at the space who have done this before and ask them to accompany you**. 
- 
-1. Ensure trash is all properly bagged up, and that there is no leak in any of the bags. 
-2. Carry the bags out to the far end of the hallway. 
-3. You will see a propped-open door. Navigate through this door, and **make sure the wooden block on the floor is jammed between the door and the frame so that the door doesn't close shut**. If you fail to do this, **you might lock yourself out in the stairway**. 
-4. Go down 2 floors (second -> mezzanine -> first). The stairway is extremely dark at night, so use a flashlight if you must. 
-5. At the back of the first floor stairway is a door to the back alley. Open this door to get out, but **make sure it doesn't close behind you, else you will be locked out**. 
-6. Throw the trash out into the correct bins. 
-7. Navigate back to the space in the inverse order of these steps. **Be mindful of the wooden block**; you don't want to lock someone else out of the stairway.
