    Our yard requires you to empty cans on a sheet of pressed metal and then they are racked into the conveyor chute. Reason: Someone was putting hypodermic needles in their bags and an employee was stabbed. If you make this recommendation to the management, you might get a raise. And by the way who ever did this was not thinking or did not care.

    We have a SS table out back that we are going to put inside soon, the boss isn't happy about this and I know it will be more time consuming but haveing folks empty bags onto a table and putting them into bins will be much safer and it will also weed out bottles, garbage, etc.

    hobo, a couple weeks back one of the short timers found needles in the bags. They were capped and most likely diabetic needles but he refused to open any more bags so I finished that bin for him. I don't blame him and I haven't had time to mention to the boss what happened to me yet.
