I have so much fun in the science faculty's skips at Uni, and I could imagine CERN would be amazing! I'm always wary of the Chemistry department's skips as they can sometimes contain strange things, same with the Biology department. There are alot of broken test tubes and the likes which should probably be disposed of seperately. However the skips of these departments have yielded many good conquests in the past including PowerMacs and a Colour Classic.

It is tricky when I find things lying around the Physics department as you often can't tell whether it is going to get thrown out or it is waiting to be moved elsewhere. More recently though they have started leaving waste equipment beside the door of the goods entrance to indicate that people can take it, and quite often I'll go there to see what's lying around. I once found a Mac Classic sitting there which I promptly nabbed and took home!
