What to do in an earthquake (City of Pasadena)
Waste Disposal
Trash pick-up is on Thursday mornings.
If you have studio or personal trash to be removed, please be sure to place it in the bins on the driveway side of the house by Wednesday night.
Compost (metal bin in freezer)
all food scraps, bones, egg shells, coffee grounds, tea leaves, food stained paper
If the compost bin fills up, the bag can be taken out to one of the Yard Waste bins on the driveway side of the house.
Replacement bags are under the sink.
Recycling (blue bin in kitchen)
glass, unsoiled cardboard/paper, aluminum/tin, and plastics 1 & 2*
Clean all materials thoroughly before placing them in the recycling bin to avoid contamination & increase likelihood of materials being recycled.
*Pasadena’s municipal facility only recycles plastics 1 & 2. Unfortunately, plastics 3-7 and unmarked plastics go to landfill.
Landfill
to-go coffee cups, Tetra Pak cartons, receipts, plastics 3-7, and unmarked plastics
Replacement bags are under the sink.
Living & Working
Outdoors
Consider the outdoors as an extension of the studio and living space! Embrace the generally pleasant California weather!
The wifi extends to most parts of the yard. There are 2 outlets under the covered porch and 2 more next to the porch stairs.
A remote control, located on the bar inside, turns on/off the bistro lights.
Mosquitos can be quite pesky in the warmer months. We have mosquito repellent on the cabinet opposite the laundry machines.
Feel free to use the gas grill for BBQing.
You’re welcome to use the fire pit. Fire wood can be found behind the shed. Beware of black or brown widow spiders when retrieving fire wood. These are common here in California!
Two gas heat lamps are available for chilly evenings, and they’re a great source of light when it’s dark out.
Smoking is permitted outdoors only. Cannabis is legal for recreational use in California. Help yourself to bud on the bar, or there are dispensaries nearby.
Help yourself to the herbs, edible flowers, and ripe fruit growing around the property. If you’re not absolutely sure if it’s edible, don’t eat it! Always do your research first!
Gardeners come on Tuesdays.

Studio Stuff
Lights
The light above the studio stairs turns on by the switch at the base of the stairs. The clamp lights turn on and off with a small remote.
Tools
There are many hand tools and supplies at the base of the studio stairs. If there is something you need that you cannot find, please let us know. We may be able to help you find or procure it. If it’s something you’ll need to purchase out of your own budget, we’ll let you know.
Local Resources & Materials Suppliers
Printing:
1) Save what you need to print to your desktop. You won’t be able to print from the internet, so first save what you need to print to your desktop.
2) Connect to the printer’s wifi network: DIRECT-D3EC706C. The first time you connect, you’ll need to enter the password: 44112953. Your wifi icon may look as if it’s not connected, but don’t worry! You are!
3) Print your file by selecting EPSON WF-7710 Series from the printer options. We have letter & tabloid paper, as well as letter sized card stock.
Creature Comforts
AC/Heat
The thermostat is set on an Eco setting to conserve energy. You can adjust airflow in your room by toggling the lever on the floor vent by your door. There are extra blankets if you’re chilly or a fan if you get warm. The window in your room can also be opened to let in the outside air.
Extra Blankets/Fan
Let Sarah know if you need this and can’t find it.
Kitchen & Laundry
TRP stocks the pantry and fridge with lots of basics, spices, and condiments. You’re welcome to use anything that’s not marked with someone’s name. You can also do your own grocery shopping to purchase items that you don’t see in the kitchen. Take up whatever pantry/fridge/counter space you need. When it comes to food items, the general rule is: If it’s not marked with someone’s name, it’s available for anyone to use. Use a Sharpie to mark personal items that you’d prefer not to share, or you can keep shelf-stable items in your room.
The kitchen & laundry are fully self-service. Residents make and clean up after their own meals. Everyone does their own dishes. There is solid dish soap in the mug on the counter, and replacement dish soap bars are under the sink. Dishwasher pods are also under the sink.
Laundry pods are on the shelf opposite the machines, and wool dryer balls are inside the dryer.
Sustainable Grocery Tips
Please shop the pantry/fridge first! Avoid purchasing duplicates!
Opt for packaging-free products* or plastic-free packaging & shop in bulk when possible.
Use reusable grocery & produce bags, jars, and containers. These are on the bottom shelf in the pantry.
*Best places to shop for packaging-free options:
Pasadena Farmers’ Markets (Tue & Sat AM)
Altadena Farmer’s Market (Weds PM)
South Pasadena Farmers’ Market (Thurs PM)
