====== Rubbish and Recycling ======
We're trying to keep our environmental footprint to a minimum. Here's what we can recycle in the lab/at Summerhall:

^ Material ^ Location in the lab ^ Final destination ^
| Glass | G1 kitchen area | Glass bins in the Summerhall courtyard |
| Cans, plastics, paper, card and cardboard (see below)  | G1 kitchen area | Orange-lidded "Dry mixed recyclables" bins in the courtyard |
| WEEE (electricals/electronics) | No | Do not WEEE in the lab. You should dispose of this elsewhere. |

Other waste unfortunately has to be landfilled, unless we can find other recycling solutions. There are grey-lidded landfill bins in the Summerhall courtyard.

**If you see the in-lab recycling is full, please empty it to the bins in the courtyard. The same goes for the landfill bins in the lab!**
