They keep doing this - merrily accepting old redundant junk from external companies, that they never use, but I've got to store it and look after it and am not allowed to get rid of it... but then have to after they've retired, as in this case, or moved elsewhere. Then we have to pay for its disposal. This lot that's been wasting space for about the past seven years is a portion of what's heading for our WEEE* bin.
