Becareful what you tell people , sometimes it can back fire. I was a second year apprentice, At that time I graduated from sweeping floors and mopping hallways. I was working on one of the hospitals in town, it was a big site, over 100 people easy. There was a guy named Shane, he was an older than me by about 10 years. Shane has 2 kids and a wife. He says “going to bring a pop bottle bin for everyone to put pop bottles” I guess he had enough of us throwing them out. Wait .. hold on, we used to just toss them out ?

WHOA, WHOA ... slow yur roll Greta .... this was over 20 years ago, recycling wasn’t in the forefront of everyone’s mind like today. Im very glad recycling and reusing are in today’s world. Other than the way things are made today tv’s, appliances, electronics ect are all disposable after 5 year life IF you are lucky, but at least everything is recyclable I guess . So Shane brings a blue garbage can for each side of the job. People use it cause it helps Shane and his kids, I mean, why not they threw them out before. It wasn’t long before Shane was taking home three bags sometimes four bags a day, pop bottles, pop cans, water bottles ect. Anything recyclable he was taking it, He would buy us a pizza lunch once a month, pizza and pops, everyone loved that! So what’s wrong with that? Why not be Shane? The recycling isn’t the reason I say don’t be a Shane. After months of him taking all the pop bottles home he was spilling his beans one day. He said “my wife does it at her work too and between the two of us we take make $2300 a month off the pop bottles” everyone’s mouth dropped, you could see it in there face, everyone felt like they got screwed. Even though they willingly gave him the pop bottles EVERYONE was mad. I can take in pop bottles they thought.

There was a handful of us that were ok with it, me included. He supplied bags, took home the bottles, sorted, stored the bottles, hauled them all in for refund. It was like a second job, he worked hard for every penny. No one else would, so good for him I say. Now $2300 is a lot of money today for sure but 25 years ago it was way more. In 1997 I had a brand new house it was $110,000, my mortgage payment was $700 mth . So for $2300 he was getting his house and 2 cars paid. Probably even the house utility bills.

PLEASE RECYCLE

Now when I say don’t be a Shane, this is what I mean. He should have never told people what he was getting, they never clued in and assumed he got a few hundred a month. They gave him there pop cans worth penny’s and didn’t care. Then when it was found out it wasn’t penny’s at all, almost everyone took home there pop cans. Shane lost his almost $30,000 a year tax free money.

Don’t be a Shane, sometimes less is more.....

Sometimes you can talk to much .....

Sometimes, well, just shut the fuck up 🤣
