Little Recycling Bin on the Prairie!

En route to ND, I stopped at a rural rest-stop. The toilets, sinks, hand-dryers, etc were all controlled with motion sensors... no need for paper towel. Near the door to leave the restroom was a large, blue garbage receptacle with bold, black lettering: OFFICE PAPER ONLY.

That begs the question: Who is at a rest-stop and suddenly needs to recycle office paper? Why don't they put signs along the highway saying, "This exit... camping, food, recyclable papers.... next recycling bin 60 miles..."

And to think that some of us daily visit places which have multiple bins for office paper recycling.
