Properties over 4 units, businesses, evictions, and clean-outs are excluded.

A bin next to the food scraps area takes propane and gas cylinders through The Cylinder Collective and PGANE: small cylinders in the barrel, larger ones inside the cage. Fire extinguishers, lighters, vapes, and oxygen, CO2, or refrigerant cylinders are refused.
