Charity bins play vital role for non profits

A timely article. On my way down Main Street to Habitat For Humanity to donate a door, I noticed the mess at the bins at 37th and Main. On my way back, I heard the piece on CBC about the bins in Champlain Heights and now your article in the Courier with a picture of the very bins I noticed. Thanks for bringing this situation to the attention of your readers and city staff. I know city staff will work on improving the situation with due haste while trying not to penalize the charitable organizations.
