Yep, I'm a rebel.

deird_ljA while ago, my work, in an attempt to seem environmentally friendly, provided us with a whole lot of Recycled Paper bins around the office.
So that we'd recycle paper, rather than throwing it away.
And, in an attempt to make sure we used them, they took away all our rubbish bins.
That's right. We are not allowed to have rubbish bins, because they want to encourage recycling.
So, for instance, if you open a chocolate bar, you have to walk all the way to the other side of the building to put the wrapper into the kitchen bins, or else leave the wrapper (along with any other little bits of plastic, tissues, and apple cores) on your desk until you have time to make a big trip with everything.
So, sick of my desk looking like a bomb site, I have just bought myself a rubbish bin.
It is hidden under my desk, and lurks there, trying to seem inconspicuous and non-rubbish-bin-like, slowly filling up with random bits of litter - suddenly giving me one of the cleanest desks in the building.
*feels very naughty*
