I've been staying in a hotel in Charleston, SC for the last week. Every morning I open a packet of soap to have a shower, leaving it on the provided soap dish when I'm done - I've used 10% of it at most. Every evening, the 90%-of-a-bar has gone, and a new, wrapped one has appeared in its place.
I can understand that some might like the luxury of fresh soap everyday, but I want to know is what happens to all the 90%-of-a-bars of soap every day? Are they returned to the factory for recycling? Smoothed off, rewrapped, and sent to cheaper hotels? Is there, maybe, a vast landfill somewhere containing nothing but 90%-of-a-bars of soap??

I always take my own soap but have had similar thoughts about shampoo in hotel rooms - so much so I've started taking the open bottles home to use up in order to avoid waste. Hotels are, in my opinion, very wasteful places and the posher they are the worse they get.
