The official way is to take it back to your old office for them to return it.

I kid you not, I offered to bring it back the week after I resigned and was told by my manager to keep it as a souvenir!
And never was I asked to give my ID back!
Anyway keep it, could come handy if you are ever invited to a fancy dress party! :crazy:

I’ve always done this - I was told to put it in the bin

If you've got blue shirts then those are in demand. If it's the new stuff then wash it three times to destroy the rub-on logo and toss it in a bin where it belongs.
The machine stops.
