Source sorting

Steve Simey (38) from East London found something completely unusual in a rubbish bin at the train station in Romford, England.

As Simey walked along the platform to throw some rubbish after a night on the town, he noticed a large, long object sticking out of the rubbish bin.

Simey laughed when he saw what it was – a large double-sided dildo sticking out from the edge.

– I pointed it out to my partner, and showed the picture to the employees at the station who at first thought it was just a joke, he told Jam Press.

He stated that there were several who laughed and took pictures.

Went viral

Simey shared the photo of the dildo on her Twitter account with the text:

– Got off the train after a couple of beers, and this is what has been thrown at Romford train station.

It flowed in with comments on the post, which was shared on April 15.

A Twitter user comments:

– They’re not cheap. Put it in a plastic bag and wash it when you get home.

Another user writes:

– It’s recyclable, right?

Shortly after Simey showed the picture of the dildo to the employees at the train station, it was removed.

May be harmful

Dagbladet has contacted communications editor Camilla Delbekk from ROAF. She works every day to inform people about source sorting.

– If people throw sex toys in the residual waste, then it is wrong, and problems can arise. Small electronic waste is EE waste.

according to Norwegian Recycling is EE waste that stands for electrical and electronic, all products that use electricity.

Delbekk states that these products must be sorted at source.

– This is because they contain toxins that are harmful to the environment, including mercury. The poles on the batteries short-circuit if they come in contact with each other, she says and continues:

– It can happen with us because we use large machines to handle residual waste in the factory. Then a fire may occur in our sorting plant.

Can be returned

Delbekk says that everyone who sells EE products and batteries is obliged to have their own return schemes.

– If the sex toy contains batteries, this can be returned to stores that sell sex toys, she concludes.

Dagbladet does not know whether the dildo that was found in England was battery-powered or not.
