We have trash compactors for regular trash, food grinders that have to grind food smaller than 1 cubic inch and we recycle cardboard, paper, aluminum and plastic bottles in super sacks that are either tied off or in containers. The only thing we keep in open top 4 X 8 baskets is scrap metals.
We have special baskets for empty 5 gal. water bottles too.

Everything that can fly off the platform has to have the block number on it, in some kind of permanent lettering or sticker. If not, that can result in an INC also.
That's where I was going w/ it Ray. If he didn't know what a super-sack was, no need to explain the cost and labor involved with disposing of trash from a rig/platform. We spend literally hundreds of thousands a year just on trash compactors and their upkeep. Nothing worse than having a crew upset becasue they have to deal w/ 2 things:
1)-Trash compactor and super sacks
2)-Malfunctioning sewer plant

Worst calls of my day!
