Yes, Folks; She's on the Board.

(Posted in Laundry Room, beside sheets of paper on which have been taped a dryer sheet, dryer lint, and a Doritos bag):

All this was found in the recycling bin. I’ve taken trash out of this bin THREE times now. What do you need to make recycling a no-brainer?? A big, bright-blue recycling can with a huge “Recycling” logo on it? A clear, brightly colored sign? Oh wait – YOU HAVE THESE.

I’m sorry I can’t stand here and throw your trash out for you, or explain the difference between a plastic detergent container and a snack bag or a handful of dryer lint.
I’ve done just about everything else I can, though, so if you could exercise just a little initiative, that would be just swell.
Blue can = recycling. It’s not hard.

You might also be over board soon.

Know what I did? I moved the trash can to the right of the recycling can. Not having to move one's hand a full 18 inches to the left seems to have solved the problem. Of course, now I occasionally find laundry bottles in the trash, bit they are a lot easier to pull out and move. While I'm wishing a painful death to the lazy jerks of the world.
