I died a little inside today.

At least some managers bypass that and give me electronics bits to tear down rather than go in the bin.

In a lot of countries, trash can't be stolen, as you've already given up ownership. Otherwise it would mean the waste collector commits a crime at every address.

Now that's what I call creative recycling. :clap:

I hate this kind of waste, it's usually political more than anything. There's usually a reason for it but they're all stupid reasons imo. It's waste, pure waste.
It's even more horrible in the insurance industry, things that could be going to less fortunate people like clothing get destroyed. Like say a clothing store gets a flood they just write off everything and order it destroyed. Those are the kind of things that make me hate humanity.

Where in Melbourne do they still put rubbish out en-masse for footpath collection? My council just does them on request. But it is close to inner city and footpaths filled with rubbish is probably more of a problem where density is higher.
