It’s a good thing to empty the SLMS bins, it’s a great thing to put bags containing food on a wheelie bin every time…this is why…

Haha …did I really write about protecting rats.from a high cholesterol diet…

The post is still mostly accurate (woodshop has a different bin for offcuts, metal is recycled via the various scrap collectors who tour industrial estates, and Quantum usually need a nudge to collect…and really don’t like contaminated timber…)

Would printing these instructions and putting them near the bins be helpful?

Good idea!

A. Update the page to be accurate, B. Print a flyer out with a summary and post by the bins…
