What Do You Recycle?
The continuing adventures of Jen and CW (co-worker)...
JL: (Noticing CW has brought recyclables into JL's office three times during the day.) There's a recycling bin next to the copier, you know. (Which is much closer to CW's desk.)
CW: Oh. It had torn up paper in it. I thought it was garbage.
JL: It's the box just like mine right next to the copier?
CW: Yeah, it has all this torn up paper in it. I think it's garbage.
JL: No, the garbage is the can right next to that. Paper is recyclable.
CW: It's all torn up.
JL: sigh

Posted by: Stephen Macklin at June 17, 2004 08:06 PMI take all of the misprints since I sit by the computer - misprints or things printed and then about to be discarded. I used them for notes for phone calls and programming and things (the clean side), and then every 3 or 4 days, the used thingees get shredded and put in the recycle bin. So there's double usage there.
The problem, though, is that I've been at this job for over 3.5 years now. I have about a 9 inch stack of paper waiting to go through this process. I'm anxious to see what it's going to be like in another year and a half or so.
