This just happened, and I am still 
about the whole thing. I hear a car pull up on the drive, and out gets a guy with a pizza. There are 4 flats in my house, I didn't order pizza, I'm not sure what flat it is for. He goes to the main or door, and stands there for a while - I assume he pressed one of the doorbells and they didn't answer. After a while he gives up.
I am puzzled by what happens next - firstly he should've tried to phone the number given, surely? Incase the doorbell didn't work or something? Failing that, take the pizza back with him incase they ring up asking where my pizza is - or have free pizza at the end of a shift. But no - he takes the pizza, and throws it in our recycling bin
I don't know if it works the same in the US so I will explain - we have one regular grey bin (or trash can
) for general rubbish, shared between the 4 flats, and one recycling bin (for plastic bottles, card, tins, glass, etc), which is bright blue and has "RECYCLING" in big letters on the top and the front - its not easy to confuse the two! You can get fines for putting the wrong things in the recycling bin as it can contaminate the whole recycling lorry and then it all has to be thrown away anyway. We have already had one warning notice because someone put a load of styrofoam in there (although I can understand that, its something you might think could be recycled). But a whole pizza?? Good job I saw what he did - otherwise we might not have noticed and certainly got a fine for it! I have been out and moved it to the regular bin, but am tempted to ring up the company and tell them what he did - I have a feeling they would just laugh at me and hang up. What do you reckon??
