I’ve been doing a little experiment over the last week. I moved the small trash bin out of my cubicle so it is not so “easy” to throw stuff out. I have to get up out of my cube and put waste in either the trash bin or the recycling centre in the main office area. It’s an interesting idea… it gets me out of my seat and also forces me to think about what I am throwing out. I mentioned this to the person over the cube wall and he looked in his cube trash bin to find a couple things that should have gone to blue or green bins. Even with the best of intentions, we are busy so we can’t always be conscious of what we are doing. Perhaps try this yourself and see what you find out.

I would have taken the recyclable items out of the colleague’s garbage and put them in the proper bins LOL I have no shame
