binlore

/ˈbɪnˌlɔː/nounVerified New

The contested local knowledge of what may be recycled, held in each household by one designated expert.

Caps on or off, pizza boxes yes or no, plastic film never — the expert rules with the confidence of custom and the backing of a leaflet last printed in 2015. Binlore differs between neighbors and cannot be fully reconciled. When the council changes the rules, the expert absorbs the betrayal privately.

Etym. — bin + lore — oral tradition, transmitted at the kitchen bin.

Rel. — scrapconscience
