Item #: SCP-5002
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: There are no standard special containment procedures for SCP-5002 and personnel of all classes are allowed to interact with it. SCP-5002 may only be used to dispose of paper and paper-based products.
Description: SCP-5002 is a standard paper recycling bin made of a blue plastic. SCP-5002 functions as a recycling bin and is used to dispose of paper and paper-based products. Once full, however, SCP-5002 will internally burst into flames at a temperature of around 127°c. It is unknown what SCP-5002 considers as "full", and will combust if this level is met using anything. Nothing is left behind by SCP-5002, even water, and will leave no sign that combustion has taken place. SCP-5002 is on the right of SCP-294.
Addendum 5002.1: Discovery
SCP-5002 was discovered when a woman in Miami, Florida, called into 911 to report a fire at her home. A report by the Miami Fire Department recorded that the woman had seen her paper recycling bin suddenly combust without any form of combustion. The woman was identified as █████ ██████. SCP personnel were dispatched soon after and managed to secure SCP-5002 with no trouble.
Addendum 5002.2: Incident:
On ██/█/████, Agent ████ ███ slipped on some coffee that had been released by SCP-294 and fell into SCP-5002. SCP-5002 combusted and Agent ███ was burned to death. SCP-5002 was put into containment for a week following the incident before being put back in its spot next to SCP-294.
