You need to realize that people have been confusing the 'Tastebridge'
donation bins with 'Noisebridge' donation bins, from the first day a
Tastebridge donation bin appeared in the space (which was made out of a
Noisebridge donation bin!).

The signs alone are simply not clear enough to help people distinguish what
a Noisebridge or a Tastebridge is.  I hate to think that visitors can't or
won't read the signs, but that's what is happening, and when we aren't
around to guide or inform them, they may make mistakes.
