Responsibility

I have chosen to talk about cardboard. A lot of the time it’s a hassle to keep around the broken down boxes, so my family and I often recycle them. My responsibility is to break down the box, so it fits better in the bin, and to make sure that I am putting the right waste products in the correct location. After they are in the bin or wherever they belong, I don’t think it is my responsibility anymore. It is on the laborers job to take it to its next location. I know at my old job at a consignment shop, I would break down the boxes and when the store was slow bring them out back and put them in the recycling dumpster. I often saw that other people weren’t breaking them down or anything else, just throwing in complete boxes which is a waste of space. I don’t know who took those specific dumpsters because we opened after they came, if I remember properly, but I think it was a big truck that would load it in the back and then go to other recycling dumpsters in town and take them. I know that we also had a regular trash dumpster too, so maybe for all I know the garbage people threw it all into the same truck!
