Oh yeah it's great to throw out the stuff growing in there but can't they save our containers? I once took a complete meal in to my staff, spoke with the dietary manager on the way to my unit, she asked what I had brought and later that morning throw it all away including the dishes! That was the entire on duty staff's meal that day. Needless to say she was sorting through the trash later to find my dishes!!! And yes they were all labled and dated!
