On the whole we'd rather not receive donations of small bits of scrap material (unless they're unusual/expensive materials) as they tend to be less useful for projects and often wind up getting thrown out. Old tools in poor condition are also not that helpful because the effort involved in reconditioning them will often exceed the value, but if you do have old tools that you want to see re-used rather than thrown away, please feel free to offer them on our mailing list, quite a few of our members restore old equipment as a hobby.
 
Please DO NOT leave donations of materials outside the lab without talking to us first to check if we want them, it's considered fly-tipping by the council and we have to pay for refuse disposal so it actually costs us money.
