Passive Aggressive Recycling

On our floor we have some very bad lab neighbors.  They throw their trash in the hallway (even if it is soaked with organic solvents), never break down their boxes for the recycling bin, and even place cooling packs and styrofoam boxes in said recycling bin.  They also keep their doors locked AT ALL TIMES and do not answer the door when the delivery people knock/ring their doorbell.  Yeah.  They have a doorbell.  So talking to these very unreasonable people is completely out of the question.

Joy and I have posted lots of nice notes for people to please be considerate and not junk up the hallway with boxes and filling. And to please break down boxes so that others might be able to use the recycling bin.  They have been removed!  Removed!  It is a war!   

Here is my latest addition to the constant arsenal of notes:


I'm very happy to report that for the 3 days this has been near the bin, all boxes have been broken down, and no non-recyclables (coffee cups, cool packs, packing peanuts, etc) have been placed inside.  And to think- Lesley said I was being unreasonable! 


Happy Friday-Have a lovely weekend!
