Stock and clean an invited Beach Flats community fridge (2026-07-19)

A community fridge only stays useful if someone keeps it clean and stocked, and the Beach Flats neighborhood's dense apartment blocks have residents who rely on informal food-sharing points like this. A regular stock-and-clean round keeps the fridge safe to use and worth checking. Standard: Community fridge network best-practice guidance; food-sustainability — SDG 2. Proof: Photo of the cleaned, stocked fridge with temperature note Method (Community fridge network best-practice guidance; food-sustainability — SDG 2.): 1. Check the fridge temperature is in a safe range. 2. Remove any spoiled or expired items. 3. Wipe down shelves and surfaces. 4. Restock with any food brought for the round. 5. Photograph the cleaned, stocked fridge with GPS and date. Done when: Photo of the cleaned, stocked fridge with temperature note

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 60–120 minutes. Method of record: Michelin Green Star-style 7-criterion sustainability scorecard

Bring

• tablet/clipboard
• camera
• scale (waste weighing scope)
• 7-criterion rubric

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the site + address; arrange a staff escort for back-of-house.
2. 2. Photograph evidence for each criterion: sourcing, waste stream, energy, water, procurement records, seasonality, team practices.
3. 3. Score each of the 7 criteria against the rubric with an evidence note.
4. 4. For a waste audit, weigh or estimate food waste for one service and identify recovery/donation options.
5. 5. Rank the highest-impact improvement recommendations.
6. 6. Enter scores, evidence notes, waste data, recommendations, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Food-safety or hygiene hazard observed -> note and defer to staff; documentation only.
• Significant edible waste -> recommend the EPA Food Recovery Hierarchy (donation before disposal).

What counts as done

• Score recorded for each of the 7 criteria with an evidence note
• Food-waste weight/volume recorded (waste-audit scope)
• Recovery/donation options identified (waste scope)
• Ranked improvement recommendations + photos + address confirm

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
