um, no... that's not where that goes.

so at work big recycling push. basically just results in signs being put on the bins detailing what goes where... like recycling says "food containers, cans, bottles"

and the one on the garbage

"food
styrofoam



needles and other medical waste"

um, no, no, no, no. not that's it my job but thanks for the excuse to refuse to ever change the garbage.

this is in our break room nowhere near the customers and I believe the signs were from corporate and just printed out.

So they are violating OSHA standards for disposal of biological hazards. How nice.

[gremcint]

ok it's not as bad as I thought. so there's a sign about the recycling in general basically "what you can recycle vs what you can't recycle" someone blew it up and cut it in half and put the can't recycle sign on the garbage can.

What an idiot.

So food containers are recyclable, but styrofoam isn't? Sounds like styrofoam food containers are Schrodinger's Cat - both recyclable and non-recyclable.

um, no... that's not where that goes.

That's what SHE said.

We have now invented Schrodinger's Trash.

[gremcint]

plastic food containers people.


anyways they've replaced the signs with ones that make sense now.

My city just hired a bunch of 'Recycle inspectors' to go house to house inspecting peoples recycle containers to make sure nothing that is considered garbage in any of them before the trucks come around. They are doing warnings now, but if you are caught with garbage in your recycle container, it can be up to a $75 fine.

[wolfie]

That has the potential for abuse. Neighbours A and B are having a feud. Due to A's work hours, they have to leave before the recycling truck arrives. B is home between A's departure and the truck's arrival. B puts some garbage into A's recycling bins. A gets fined.

After seeing some of the disagreements on our HOA's Facebook group, it wouldn't surprise me some of them would do that, this neighbor has some very vindictive people.
