 ====== Waste and Recycling ======
+**Emptying the bins is part of the [[admin:ondeparture|On Departure To-Do routine]]. Please ensure you are familiar with how to empty the bins if you attend the space regularly. We may go a week without anyone in the space so it is best to empty the bins on departure //even if they are not full//!**
+{{ :admin:1683219817.jpg?400|}}
+Members and visitors should routinely collect and dispose any obvious rubbish from their workspace. The main bins are located in the Waste and Recycling Centre which is conveniently located in the centre of the space.
+===== Sorting and Seperating =====
-Members and visitors should routinely collect and dispose any obvious rubbish from their workspace and consider taking the bin out upon exit. There are a number of bins located throughout the space.
+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 ====
-===== Downstairs =====
+   * Aluminium cans
+==== Plastic bottles ====
-{{ file:workshop_bins.jpg?200x0}}
+   * Plastic bottles and their lids
+   * Clear plastic cups
-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 ====
-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:
+   * Paper (non-sensitive, not shredded)
+   * Cardboard (large boxes may be placed directly into the wheelie bin)
-  *  Cardboard or Paper
+==== Glass ====
-  *  Aluminium Cans
-  *  Plastic Bottles
-The following items should definitely not be placed in the recycling:
+Glass is a special case that is handled seperately. The bins in the park do not accept glass. Please place glass bottles into the blue plastic crates. If you have time to run these to a supermarket to dump the glass bottles into a bin there then please do but do not take the crates away for an extended period.
-  *  Batteries
+   * Intact glass bottles only
-  *  Plastic Bags or Film
-  *  Fire
-  *  Food Waste
-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.
+==== Landfill ====
+  * Everything not covered above, which includes:
+     * Cartons
+     * Anything tainted by food waste (pizza takeaway boxes)
+     * Anything tainted by chemical waste (empty bleach bottles)
+     * Broken glass
-===== Upstairs =====
+===== 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.
+**Do not take glass to these bins.**
-==== TODO ====
+{{ :admin:bin_enclosure.png?600 |}}
+After you've taken the bins out, please ensure a fresh bin bag is placed into the bin ready for the next use.
