bin nazi

A bin nazi (generally a UK term) is normally an eco-mentalist who sifts through the contents of recycling or general refuse bins to identify misplaced items that ‘shouldn’t be in there’. Normally anally rententive these individuals delight in chastising the culprits of such activities.

“Did you see the note on top of the recycling bins left by Dave from across the road? It says we shouldn’t have put those bottles in the recycling without washing them out first”

“Oh yeah, Dave, he’s such a bin nazi..”
