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

-| WEEE (electrical/electronics) | Box marked "WEEE" (TODO: box and location to be determined) | A member will periodically take the WEEE to the local recycling centre. | +| Glass | G1 kitchen area | Glass bins in the Summerhall courtyard |
