From time to time empty drink crates appear at Henriette Westhrin’s in Kragerø.
He has no idea who sent them, but suspects that he is an angry man. It was Telemarksavisa who wrote about the case for the first time.
“Mr. Recycle”
Fifteen years ago, Westhrin worked as secretary of state and was tasked with speaking in the media.
– I defended the introduction of a tax on the return of milk and juice containers. The goal was to encourage people to recycle, he says.

The idea of the plan was that the fee would be lower if people became good at classifying correctly.
– Then there was a guy who was so provoked. He said that from now on he would send me all his empty boxes.
Like I said, that’s right.
Sometimes he has also attached a funny little message to Westhrin, like signing with “Herr Recirkuler”.
The Kragerø woman does not know that other than her receive these shipments.
– Every time I get them, I don’t think he can drink that much milk.
– Doesn’t sound healthy
Man’s behavior is often motivated by helplessness and a desire for influence, according to psychologist Peder Kjøs.

He believes that the milk mailman may feel that his point of view does not matter as much.
– It can be a way of marking that you exist, explains the psychologist Kjøs.
He still finds it strange that someone manages to keep his promise for so long, even though it may be a matter of the heart for him.
– It does not sound so healthy, thinks the psychologist.
Westhrin is also surprised that the man is still upset about the case.
– I’m a little fascinated. I think “yes, yes, you must defend the will and perseverance.” At the same time, I think “wow, okay?” Westhrin responds.
– I’m a little fascinated
Sometimes you have sent them without invoicing, while sometimes you even pay for shipping.
For the most part, the boxes smell bad, while sometimes you go to the trouble of carefully rinsing and folding them.
You don’t understand why you keep getting the empty boxes, they have changed too much since the tax was introduced.
– Now the collection rate is so high that the fee is almost zero. But he obviously intends to continue, so I have to keep throwing it away.
If the man receives this case, Westhrin has the following to tell him;
– The boxes go directly to the trash with me and therefore return together with all the other boxes. So it makes it easier for you if you just take them out, rather than send them to me.
