We get to hear anecdotal stories about Grandad's collection getting thrown in a the landfill, or even more substantively a part of the Camborne School of Mines inventory going in a skip a few years back
It is alarming to see to see this is continuing to happen, this time in Ottawa Canada.
As reported the Canadian Geological Survey said it will dump tons of minerals and soil samples carefully collected for scientific research to make room in an Ottawa warehouse.
Just hope nothing is lost to Science or History by this.
