So there's new legislation about workplace recycling. The impact on PD is not yet formal (it's a "microfirm" so has until 2027) but Steps Are Being Taken to get crew at least to start getting used to separating out food waste from everything else.

To which end we printed and laminated a bunch of signs emphasising FOOD WASTE ONLY, followed by a list of further instructions including NO GARDEN WASTE.

I have been giggling to myself about how arbitrary and inconsistent that distinction in particular is all week.

The line I was given as a "Waste Ambassador" during a particularly green-ish corporate function, was that if there was any food or dampness or whatever on any given paper product, it was compost instead of recycling. If there was snot on it, it was garbage.

The job was to stand by the bins, smile, and keep people from putting half-full aluminum cans in the recycle bin.
