Part of the tasks I perform at Catalyst Fitness as Member Liaison is picking up discarded, disposable water bottles. My average is one or two a day. Most of them have some liquid in them. Sometimes they are full. I’ve found them everywhere: The main weight room, the Life Fitness room, the small weight room, the turf room, cardio room, men’s locker room and the sauna.
If I haven’t been there long I will ask anyone near the water bottle if it’s theirs or not. Sometimes I let them set for hours and get them later. If I’m picking up the weight rooms, I’ll put water bottles against the wall in the hallway to discard later as I walk by. The next day I’ll walk down the hallway and see a bottle I left there the day before.
When you are in the gym please throw your disposable bottles away or take them with you. It’s better for everyone.
