For the last 9 months, we’ve been collecting all our recycling in a single IKEA shopping bag. ♻️
When I did the recycling I would take the bag to the local recycling bins and do the sorting at the bin 🚮 …

Recently we assigned the task of taking the recycling to our cleaning lady. 🧚‍♀️
Sadly, despite my explaining to her that she can take the whole ikea bag with her and do the separation at the bins, she insists on doing the separation at our house and taking the recycling in two separate bags:

the problem with this is that she is incredibly slow at it. 🐌
Without any exaggeration, she takes ~30mins+ per week to do the separation; roughly 10mins each time 3 days a week.
each time I see it it drives me nuts!
30mins/week = 2h/month = €13/month (€156/year!!) just on separating recycling. Again, mega slow! ⏳🐢

I don’t mind people being methodical in their work, but this isn’t “work”; it’s a job that shouldn’t exist! is just painful to watch so I’m doing something about it.
