"I feel very fortunate to not have been put in many situation where my high ethical standards were tested during my career, but I can think of one time a few years ago when it was. Working in a large warehousing operation at the time, we had a week where our used oil container was getting to capacity. Knowing that our recycling pick up for that wouldn't be for a few weeks, it was inferred to me that I should dispose of as much as I could in the regular garbage headed to the landfill. Rather than oblige, I stood my ground and said I would not do that and would look into other measures. I contacted our oil recycling company and they let me know that the earliest they could be to us was three days later. I worked with them on how to safely and efficiently hold used oil until pick up and I did just what they recommended in the meantime. Following the pick up, I worked with them on having a much larger oil drum delivered knowing our production would be up in the coming year."
