Stop the presses!

Stop the presses!

An Oregon man had a problem. In a fit of cleaning his wife had accidentally thrown a shoebox full of money into the recycle bin and now his life savings were somewhere in the waste stream. He called officials at Recology who told him the container had been sent to the Samoa Resource Recovery Center in California. Recycling workers were asked to lookout for the box, but considered it unlikely they might spot the box in tons of recycling. A sharp-eyed worker spotted the box on the sorting line and workers were able to recover nearly all of the man’s missing money. When the fluttering bills were all sorted and counted only two twenties had escaped the staff. Let’s hear it for the Recology staff and management.

17 trees are saved by every ton of existing paper that is recycled. That means if we pulped every Harry Potter book, we wouldn’t be able to see the sky for all the trees.

At the restaurant on the corner I asked, “What is this environmentally blended coffee?” The waitress responded, “Recycled from yesterday’s and today’s.”

I don’t recycle because I don’t want to look like an alcoholic to my garbage man.

If Mac users care more about the environment more than Windows users
Then why do Macs have a trash can and Windows has a recycling bin?

I just started my new job at the recycling plant and I hate it.
Crushing cans is soda pressing.
