Yet more free cache containers!

[niknrich]

I have another bag of the egg-shaped 1L plastic containers available free to anyone who wants them.  I'll bring them to Stevo's event next week so please come and ask us if you want some! 

Any left over will be brought to the EMcache Feb event so if you can't get to Stevo's event please let us know and we'll save you one (or more).

Dare we ask what was in them 

[niknrich]

The same as always, *unused* blood test tubes!  They were surplus to requirements after one of our studies finished. 

For those that haven't seen them before, they are used as leakproof containers for shipping blood samples to labs on the Continent (so if they had been used, they would no longer be in the country!).  All the contents have been removed and they're not contaminated - they haven't been used.

We get sent dozens of kits for our research studies and there are always some left over at the end.  They can't be used in the hospital so to save the NHS from paying for them to be disposed, we recycle them as caches!

Err... look up there ^

Ooh...tempting.....I've got various ideas I'm mulling over for some new caches!
I know you've said that they're 1L, but please can you post the dimensions (i.e height and width)
Unfortunately I don't know when I'll get to an event, so if they've all gone by then, it doesn't matter!

They're approx 6" tall and 4" diameter, I'll measure properly if you need the exact dimensions.  I did have a photo somewhere, I'll post if I find it.

Just found a great use for one of mine.

Found a small wasps nest in the roof (about 2 inches diameter) and managed (after killing a few wasps) to capture it in one of the containers.

It's now in the black bin awaiting collection tomorrow.
