i knew stealing every toiletry from every hotel i’ve stayed at for the past four years would come in clutch when stocking up a guest bathroom.

my coffee table with tons of travel sized shampoos, soaps, body washes, and cotton balls.

btw pro tip: your complementary toiletries get thrown out when you check out, even if you leave them completely untouched. it’s a safety thing to make sure your toiletries don’t get tampered with. so you might as well take them and make use of them, otherwise it goes straight to the landfill.

@samhenrigold there are now companies working on recycling them!

@thisismissem Hilton is participating here in the US, Marriott is not. They are, however, transitioning to big shampoo bottles in the shower and eliminating the little bottles seen here.

Good for the planet I guess but this has become a bit of a hobby for me. What am I supposed to do now? Pick up smoking??

@samhenrigold A few years back, when I heard @MicheleACourt speak once, she talked about collecting the unused toiletries and donating them to your local Prostitutes Collective - they are very useful for people who may not have access to things like that. I do not know, however, if this is a particularly NZ thing or whether similar organisations exist in other countries.

@samhenrigold I must stay at too cheap of hotels, because I’ve definitely seen leftovers in my rooms as well as half used rolls of toilet paper
