My niece just left this message on her Facebook page. Hilarious!!
Purchased wrong type of light bulbs months ago. Lost receipt. Couldn’t remember which store they came from. Couldn’t throw them in garbage due to mercury content. And they were still in packaging. Finally, during a trip to Home Depot I surrepticiously placed them on a checkout counter that was closed. Impressed with my stealth, Martin later bragged that I had “shopleft.”

Ha! “Shopleft” is now going to be a part of the New Lexicon list I’m putting together. It’ll be right up there with (my favorite) “procrastigrading.”

Ha that is a good one, I do think shops could do more for us customer where recycling is concerned. I have seen lots of containers that are like the minimum effort required to seem like there doing us a favor. Maybe a shopleft group that leave hundreds of batteries and bulbs would make them think 😀

Have we perhaps prompted a movement between the three of us? I don’t know how they are going to address the double problem of the disposal of batteries from electric cars and solar heating systems and mercury from the new light bulbs. Every solution seems to create new problems of its own. I love my niece’s solution, however…Judy
