Scenario: You have a big, BIG box of old video tapes to throw away. In front of you are two skips. One is steel mesh, and half full of flattened cardboard and paper. The other is blue and half full of assorted rubbish bags and office trash.

Which bin do you put your plastic video tapes in?

Of course, by putting plastic in the cardboard recycling bin they invoked the Wrath of Growler. And by the simple process of elimination- which business in the complex uses DigiBeta tapes? I was able to track down the culprit and get her to help me clean the bin out. Being able to say "While I *could* do it for you, I'm charged out by the hour and I'm not cheap" kind of convinced them to at least help me...

Just call me Herr Kommandant.

I choose option #3 (the trash).

Egads!!!
We share this sickness too.
What's next?

I had the service manager at my last job collect all the trash his crew threw into the "office paper only" bins behind the parts department. He wasn't pleased, but I was.

I usually tidy up a bit, but now I have POWER... I get to casually name the culprits when sending in a bill to the building owner, who may well choose to bill businesses individually for their sins. Fantastic.

These people are *morons* and must be trained.

You mean they didn't see the video-tape recycling bin?
