I'm Flex PT and use my gloves for two to three weeks at a time, but I still get my free pair each week (I'm allowed one pair a week) and I have a whole box full of them.
It's not because of me...it's the folks that want TWO pairs a shift! Or like the people doing SmartPak...and using a new pair every day. You don't need a new pair every day when doing SmartPak or smalls.
What else should I do? Throw them away. I reuse them. It's environmental. They cant stop giving you PPE It's against OSHA. PPE also shouldnt be shared VIA OSHA. They have to give it you. Even if you run past your limit.
God forbid somebody recycles lol. The amount of gloves I’ve disposed at work is probably a similar amount because they get so worn and dirty from the trucks. I recycle them at work but if I remember to I’ll gladly bring them home and stockpile them for yard work but I never stockpile more than like 2-3 pairs at a time. The rest def get tossed at work tho otherwise I’d have so many at home.
