Make sure you slip the empty can into someone else’s wastebasket, especially if the cleaners don’t empty wastebaskets every day.
I once ate a can of sardines on my lunch break. I was parked in a dirt lot behind a Circle K in Casa Grande, AZ. It was over 110F that day.
On my way to the inside of the store to get a cup of coffee, I tossed the empty sardine can into the dumpster behind the store. On my way back, I had to take a wide berth around the trach can, because the fish stench had become overwhelming in the heat, in just those few minutes.
I’ve actually gotten in trouble at work for doing that! Now I just tote them to the cafeteria and dump them in those wastebaskets.
Lol, we had a caregiver for my FIL here who was eating sardines every day and throwing the unrinsed can in the trash. DH eats them too but rinses the can. We and to ask her to rinse it or put it in the diaper pail (which is airtight and gets emptied daily)
