Everything you buy is in giant barrels &amp;#x2F; tubs. However, if you look into it, they actually source everything in relatively small bags that they break down and dump into large tubs.

Out back in the alley was just a massive pile of obsolete 90s&amp;#x2F;early 2000s PCs that hadn&amp;#x27;t been broken down or stripped of e-waste in any way.  I&amp;#x27;d go rummaging through it sometimes looking for a usable Pentium 3 processor and some ram.  Maybe a hard disk that wasn&amp;#x27;t roached.  Built a bunch of fun little Linux computers with those.&lt;p&gt;Anyway, the owner went to jail for something or other unrelated.  I&amp;#x27;m sure all that stuff went to the landfill.</text></comment>
