[Discussion] The Great Summer Cleanup of 2012

Thanks for that, Abhishek.

& thanks to Cal (& others) for helping with the initial sorting.

The black crate is already starting to fill up with pure rubbish, with 
the notable exceptions of 4 or 5 items - Cal's accounted for most of it 
(like the little portable TV), so that should be good to go to a new 
home/skip/TM/etc.

We've managed to sort out most of the space (please keep it sorted - I 
really don't want to do it again soon).
That large table next to the window/BBQ's is now a "sorting table" - 
we've put all the loose boxes containing useful/usable stuff that needs 
sorting or disposal on it (there's literally no more space for anything 
else), so please, whenever anyone goes to the space, 
please-please-PLEASE just to a bit of token sorting so that we can start 
working through the heap.

& to reiterate a previous request: please bring in some uniform 
containers - wine-bottle boxes, photocopy-paper boxes, 30 litre 
crates/boxes or lidded wheely-bins. (anything else becomes a bit tricky 
to store or stack)

Other boxes will be used to take some of that those pieces of wood scrap 
off-cuts up to BlackHeart (Cal's got more on this) - there's already a 
whole green wheely-bin they can can come pick up (could someone please 
communicate this to them)

If there are any questions, please ping me.

Kind regards

      - Jaco
