Catch phrases or slogans devised in Britain in connection with the collection of waste material were mentioned by the town clerk of Napier, Mr F. R. Watters, at a meeting of the Napier committee handling the collection of scrap metal. Some of the slogans mentioned by him were: “Save your aluminium pots to put the lid on Hitler,” “It’s wicked to waste even waste,” “Out of the frying-pan into the sky,” and “Let your pot cook Hitler’s goose.”
