[clug] National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme. started 15-May, Mugga Lane and Mitchell Transfer station.

[steve jenkin]

In case anyone on the list didn't notice, up to 15 items are
'non-commercial' and free to dump for recycling.

"Don't come early, don't come late" sorta applies.
They're expecting a big rush in the first few weeks and suggest not
going on the weekends especially in that time.

On-going feedback anyone?
