In other cases, people are dropping items off at donation bins, that because of the pandemic, are not being picked up.
People are being asked to be mindful of others and properly dispose of their garbage, and refrain from dropping off donations if it’s clear those items are not being picked up.
Please…. stop dropping off at donation bins!
Please save your donations if you can.
All of this mess is going to have to be destroyed, and it creates risk for those who have to clean it up. #MountPearl pic.twitter.com/3KD9e2xsA3
