Exactly

I'm a paid DoC hut manager
8 scheduled visits per year to drop off firewood and do a full service
It's a 9 bunk bookings only hut that sleeps 11 comfortably
Relatively easy access so a bit of stuff gets left behind all of the time
Mostly empty gas canisters
Empty wine bottles with candles in the neck
Unused T light candles because there is solar lighting
Pots with no lids
Spare plastic plates and cutlery
The odd headlight on a hook if I service the day it was left

We leave a decent kettle for the pot belly stove and that is it

I take away anything else including any food
Even canned and jars etc because otherwise everyone would do it rather than carry it out

Just take what you need and if there is a decent kettle and fry pan that's a bonus
