So many people really don't give a stuff. Their take is that it's someone else's job to clear up and they're keeping them employed.
We lost all individual bins at work years ago, and we have groups of communal bins around the department for recycling: paper, confidential paper, general waste, plastic cups, plastic bottles/cans.
Unfortunately, people will just stuff all of their rubbish in the first bin they get to (even though the bins are grouped together in 'pods' so you're not having to walk to different places to get to the relevant bins). The 'Plastic Cups Only' bin seems to be the most popular for stuffing paper cups, crisp & paper bags, sandwich boxes, banana skins etc in. No matter how many appeals the company makes, folk just ignore them. The waste bill skyrocketed last year because all contaminated recycling has to go to landfill, and landfill has become very expensive. Sees some would rather see jobs cut to save money than take a second to put their waste in the corrrect bins.
Moving your hand 30cm to the left or right is beyond the majority of supposedly educated, intelligent and responsible people in my Dept.
