What's with those recyclers, anyway?

Hmm... Maybe have the disposal chute in each department somehow mark the items sent through it and credits materials to only that department? For example, the mechanics send a bunch of junk through their disposal, and get credit for it in their fabricators. Medbay and QM can't utilize those credits, because the stuff went into the chute at mechanics. Similarly, mechanics cannot utilize stuff sent in at medbay or QM. This also means that if you really wanted to, you could sneak into disposals and steal stuff off the belt as it comes in and then put it through your own chute to get credit for it. Some interesting fights might break out in disposals for control of the belts if word gets out that some scarce resource is going to a particular department.
