This is a question Tightwads

There's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.

Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

why not massively securely overkill lock the bins?
you've got to remember,allowing scavenging is a step closer to the moral and spiritual collapse of society.

we try to lock our bins...
Someone was caught taking out-of-date meat from our bins, and trying to sell it on and/or claim refunds (after it's been out of refrigeration for 24hours or longer).

But some people just break in anyway. It was getting ridiculous, the amount we were having to spend on new locks and bin repairs.

Of course, until they recently started shredding, there was a risk of confidential data going in the bins as well; so that was another reason to secure them.
