Taking Out Your Trash is Overrated: Here’s Why

Recently, Sokokis residents were fined for the actions of a few select people leaving their trash in the recycling closets. Investigators at The Bolt took a deep dive into some of the reasons preventing these students from taking their trash to the dumpster, and why they might be justified in their actions.

Reasons to Not Take Out Your Trash (In No Particular Order)

  1. Geese attacks, or worse. Have you seen their teeth?
  2. You might reach your step goal of the day. Soko residents get enough steps walking to class.
  3. You could get run over by someone on a bike. It’s hard to hear bike horns with earbuds in, and bikes don’t have speed limits.
  4. The hallways won’t have the fragrant aroma of garbage anymore. What’s home sweet home without it?
  5. Wind might mess up your hairdo. You were finally able to find free time to shower when there was still enough hot water, woke up early enough to style your hair, and can’t risk the extra walk.
  6. If you did take it out, you would be making the jobs of housekeeping and housing staff easier, but it’s their job to take out your personal trash, right? I’m sure your parents took it out for you too.
  7. Seagull attacks, or worse. Getting pooped on by a bird might be good luck, but that doesn’t make it any more appealing.
  8. Let’s be honest, it’s an unreasonable amount of responsibility. This is self-explanatory.
  9. The hash slinging slasher. You’ve seen SpongeBob, right?
  10. Then UNE students can’t be charged more money. Let’s do our part.
