 ===== Sorting and Seperating =====
+In order for the bins to be taken out efficiently, please ensure you are sorting and seperating all waste. All waste must be placed into transparent plastic bags and those bags must be tied before taking out. The following items should be placed into the recycling:
+==== Cans ====
+   * Aluminium cans
-===== Downstairs =====
+==== Plastic bottles ====
+   * Plastic bottles and their lids
+   * Clear plastic cups
-{{ file:workshop_bins.jpg?200x0}}
+==== Paper ====
-For those in the workshop or social room, your nearest bins can be found in the corridor between the two spaces. Two bins are provided and labelled, please ensure that you are using the correct bin.
+   * Paper (non-sensitive, not shredded)
+   * Cardboard (large boxes may be placed directly into the wheelie bin)
-Note that the person emptying the recycling bin will likely have to touch the items in the bin individually when emptying, please ensure that you have emptied your can and that the waste is clean (also ensuring good quality recycling material). The following items should be placed in the recycling bin:
+==== Glass ====
-  *  Cardboard or Paper
+   * Intact glass bottles only
-  *  Aluminium Cans
-  *  Plastic Bottles
-The following items should definitely not be placed in the recycling:
+==== Landfill ====
-  *  Batteries
+  * Everything not covered above, which includes:
-  *  Plastic Bags or Film
+     * Cartons
-  *  Fire
+     * Anything tainted by food waste (pizza takeaway boxes)
-  *  Food Waste
+     * Anything tainted by chemical waste (empty bleach bottles)
+     * Broken glass
-Only the general waste bin uses bin bags. If you are emptying the general waste bin, please place in a new bin bag from the container above the bin.
+===== Taking the bins out =====
+The bins should be taken out to the [[https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1168604521#map=19/57.17962/-2.11017|bin enclosure]] where you will find one large wheelie bin for landfill and one large wheelie bin for recycling. Please ensure you stick to one waste stream per bag and that the bags are tied. All the recycling is mixed in the recycling wheelie bin, but the bags keep it seperated.
