There is a huge heavy box waiting in the hall to be collected by the carriers. It's full of exhausted mobile phones which students and head of physics, Alasdair Spence, have collected for recycling. The benefits are as big as the box. The phones will be reused where possible, and recycled safely when re-use isn't possible. Because each recylced phone raises money, Shimna science department will also benefit. So many of us love our phone, so many people get new ones for Christmas and so much damage is done if the phones are just thrown away. This has been a really worthwhile project.
