Walking around the pretty darn empty campus during last Thursday’s nor’easter, I passed by a thicket of the recycling buckets that get repurposed during heavy rain. Several had been rebranded as seen in the image below.
As walked by I thought, “This seems an opportunity to form an ad hoc committee to study bucket use.” Several questions might be studied: do repurposed recycling buckets have the optimal design for catching rain; might some other color bucket draw attention better and keep passersby safer; should a snappy “rain leak container” logo be designed and implemented; might we pass future messages by an editorial board?
I will note that there was very little debris in this particular container.
