You all know about the types of storage out there for offices. There are the binders for papers, the paper clip dispensers, the pen and pencil holders and the desk organizers that bring it all together.

You have storage options for hanging files, whether in your desk drawer or in a mobile rolling file. Well, those are all fine and dandy options...but what about organizational storage for the heavy duty pack rat who looks at a typical storage option for all his doodads and just chuckles?

Put Your Stinking Garbage Inside the Wastebasket!

It's good to hear that a lot of people are disciplined enough to throw their trash where they are supposed to be thrown in. This fact alone reinforces my belief that there a lot of people who still cares about their surroundings.

I'm not sure whether all of them has the environment inside their heads whenever they throw their trash in the right locations, but I am sure that a fair number of them do this for aesthetic reasons.

Just think about an office space littered with tons of trash, all getting rotten due to the time they spent on the floor, unthrown, and you will know what I mean.

Environmental reasons aside, it is somewhat unappealing to see an office looking like a large trash bag or smelling like rotten fish. This just reflects on how the workers in that office practice their duties. It leaves a bad impression to potential clients and harms potential profits.

Like what is constantly mentioned in this blog, work efficiency go hand-in-hand with office hygiene. Bad hygiene inside the office may prohibit workers from actually doing what they are supposed to do. This does not include cleanliness of the body but the cleanliness of the surroundings itself.

Wastebaskets are not expensive, so I do not see the point of not buying enough trash bins. On the other side of the spectrum, I do not see why office workers are not able to throw their trash in the right places when trash bins are abundant--and remember to have your trash regularly collected by the garbage collector. We don't want stinking trash stored inside the bins, either.
