Whats your occupation?? Where do you live??

[MaDDoG]

that just made my inner artist spring into action!

what is that?

do you put in cookies, chips/crisps, or soda and get back money?

i'm so excited to hear the answer, please don't disappoint me with something mundane, please!

That's what I was thinking...reverse vending machines?? Sound kind of perverse.

 

[eric]

clever MHC!

maybe the retreival bin is on top and a jet of air blows the item to the top instead of it falling to the bottom?

 

[MacHeadCase]

Ooh! Space age machine, I like that!

[gross alert]

perhaps it's a modern vomitorium? installed at high end clubs where models are likely to hang out, to help them, you know, maintain there freakishly small silhouettes.

Wow! That's an idea. Weight Watchers would be in grave danger of closing its doors, though.

Hi Guys,
I'm afraid to say the answer is very Mundane .

A RVM is where you take your empty bottles and cans back to the Supermarket put them in a machine and get your deposit back.

Then the cans or bottles (PET) and either crushed or flattened or shredded for re.cycling. To be made into things like Fleece jackets and maybe even car parts.

Many countires in Europe have this system and Tescos in England are now installing our machines. We also cover Japan and a few other countries like Canada and several states in the US

Maybe if you guys keep working on it, you'll be able to do some of the stuff we suggested.

actually, i'd consider this more noble than mundane. good work Kilted1!

 

[MaDDoG]

There is not enough recycling in the world....just lots of rubbish.


Thought for the day - If a messy desk equals a messy mind, what does a empty desk mean?
This was my answer to someone at work today after they commented on how much paperwork I had strewn over my desk.

You've been sacked for having an untidy desk.

 

[MaDDoG]

You've been sacked.

No they are not that lucky. Just busy.

Is this going to involve a moose?

A Moose?? None around here that I have seen......maybe a mouse or two. Interesting sort of a question though?

The only moose I know is the one that's loose in the hoose.
