'It is just not right:' Garbage being dumped beside some of city's donation bins

In an open letter released on Monday, Diabetes Canada said that it suspended the pick-up of all textile donations from homes and community bins on March 23 but has nonetheless continued to see residents drop off donations and even garbage at the sites.

“Sadly, some residents continue to drop off donations at our bins even though we cannot empty them at this time; and some individuals are using Diabetes Canada donation bins to dump garbage and more,” the letter states. “This is posing a serious health and safety issue. We have contacted government agencies to help us to remove the garbage however we have not yet been successful.”

As a result, it says that it does not have employees or the financial resources to clean the garbage around its bins. “We need help with this,” Diabetes Canada CEO Sean Shannon told CP24 on Tuesday morning. “We are putting our hand up to all levels of government to say this is a COVID-19-related crisis and we need your help to actually clean this up.”

I’d get rid of those bins! For years ppl to cheap to go to the landfill have been dumping there garbage at these bin sites. If you have donations call the kidney or diabetes foundation and they come pick it up at your front door!! Filthy,lazy,cheap pigs!!

In our society where absolute is replaced with nuance whereby it’s easier to ignore the reality before you and justify by any means. Just know this, every item is there by choice and A person actually chose to place a bag there. Nothing wrong with the world just the people in it.

Cause it’s toronto the uncaring city

Fucking savages

Bins should have been removed long ago! 😖

Just a little more there than a normals day pile 🤭🤭

Remove the bins.🤨🤨

I see this happening a lot in Brampton and it make SICK..

Littering gloves and masks is not good either just left a trail of contaminants😡😡

Are we sure it’s garbage? I put my clothing donations in garbage bags too and I see a lot of stuff there like toys and clothes.

It’s not garbage but this is not the way to throw everything in open, guess what will happen if it starts to rain? It will be garbage and of no use to anyone, people probably donated it with good intentions but we need to think, could be infected with the virus or it’s traces.

some of it is. one right beside my place. what did you expect, humanity within this humanity?

This is just ridiculous and embarrassing for our residents. They are obviously not collecting, hold on to you effin garbage

Well dont close the waste stations and ppl could off taken it to garbage!!!

Stop it, we are better than this.

All city workers laid off , no one to clean this shit up
