SCP-107

Item #: SCP-107

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Object
currently housed at Site 19 in standard concrete
containment room measuring 3m (10 feet) by 3m (10
feet) by 2.4m (8 feet). Room is to be kept well-
illuminated at all times unless experiment is in
process and approval from project leader has been
authorized. No personnel are permitted to enter
the room unless pre-approved.

Description: SCP-107 is a cylindrical waste-
paper basket measuring 38.1 cm (15”) in height
with a 25.4 cm (10”) diameter at it's rim. Object
is constructed of sheet-steel. Composition is
ordinary, with no outstanding deviation in mass or pliability. Scratch
testing confirms hardness of 4.1 on the Mohs scale: within the expected
parameters for low-grade steel. Its outer surface is emblazoned with
Green Bay Packers logo on one side and an illustration of a helmet
bearing a similar logo on the other.

When not observed, SCP-107 is able to dispose of any and all refuse
contained within a room. Once removed, no physical evidence of disposed
objects remains. While early tests were limited to volume of object,
further experiments have found object's ability to extend to any refuse
contained within the boundaries of a room. Experiments are ongoing, but
results continue to point to limitless potential for disposal.

SCP-107 will only dispose of refuse when not under observation.
“Observation” in this sense is not limited to line-of-sight, as alert
human presence will keep it from functioning. SCP-107 appears to also be
aware of visual recording devices, including infrared-assisted night
vision and thermal imaging. This suggests certain level of sentience.

Addendum 107-1: Room containing SCP-107 is to be kept locked when not
undergoing study.

Addendum 107-2: Room containing SCP-107 is to be kept locked at all
times to prevent misuse by request of Dr. ████. Those not possessing
level 3 clearance must have prior approval from Drs. ████ and ███████
before entering room.

Addendum 107-3: "Anyone found using SCP-107 for disposal of personal
waste will find themselves on keter duty. This is a euclid-class SCP; not
a handy way to get rid of your used motor-oil and old magazines." - Dr.
Klein

Additional Information: Due to the range and variation of tests
conducted on SCP-107, it is necessary to compile a list of abridged
experimentation reports including significant findings. A full experiment
log is available at [DATA EXPUNGED].

● TEST 1: Standard recording procedure in effect. SCP-107 filled with
.25 cubic meter of standard refuse: mixture inorganic solids. Lights
doused for five (5) seconds. Lights activated. Object and contents
unchanged.

● TEST 1.1: Recording devices turned off. Object filled with .25
cubic meter of standard refuse: mixture inorganic solids. Lights
doused for five (5) seconds. Can observed empty when lights turned
back on.

● TEST 3: 5.5 cubic meters standard refuse placed around object.
Lights doused for five (5) seconds. Lights activated. Room empty.

● TEST 5: Room filled with compressed standard refuse: nearly 18
cubic meters. Lights doused for five (5) seconds. Lights activated.
Room empty.

● TEST 7: Room left empty. Lights doused for five (5) seconds. Lights
activated. Measurements indicate particulate matter in room much
lower than site average. Analysis of atmosphere after event reveals
near perfect average of compositional gases: nitrogen 78.08%, oxygen
20.94%, argon 0.934%, carbon dioxide 0.033%. Further analysis
reveals nearly double normal helium content at 9.8 parts / million.

● TEST 14: 4 grams plutonium introduced to room and left for period
of 24 hours. Measurements taken before extinguishing lights report
highly toxic radiation levels. After lights doused and reactivated,
no trace of material or airborne radiation remains.

● TEST 19: Bed installed in room. Class D subject introduced to room,
lights doused. Subject allowed to sleep in room for 7.4 hours until
fulfilling natural sleep cycle. Bed still present when lights
activated. Subject reports no ill effects upon waking. Note: subject
later reports no bowel movements for nearly 36 hours.

Addendum 107-4: After approval from Dr. ████████, experiments with
subjects infected with SCP-253 commenced on █/█/███. Following discussion
with Dr. ████, Mycologist on duty, subjects infected with SCP-129 and
SCP-321 were admitted into experimental rotation on █/█/███. All tests
followed standard procedure, but offered no removal of parasitic/fungal
growth from host body. Current theory postulated by Dr. ██████ is that
living, organic tissue is not deemed refuse by SCP-107. How SCP-107 makes
determination is still unknown.
