Munday on Monday: Recyling bin in the parking lot


Recycling bins...they invite conscientious recyclers, as seen here. But not everyone follows the rules.

Recycling bin in the parking lot

“RECYCLED PAPER,” says the bin,

But oh! Such stuff they’re tossin’ in!

Despite “NO CARDBOARD” clearly stated,

With just such boxes bin is weighted.

And phone books? Yes, they’re banned as well;

Yet by the dozens here they dwell.

And lastly on this jumbled scene

We see a stained old mattress lean.

In fairness, though, don’t blame or smear

The muttonhead who left it here,

Who must’ve thought this bin just fine;

It doesn’t have ‘NO MATTRESS” sign!
