The Town of Leader is reminding residents to properly use community recycling bins after reports of overfilled containers and debris blowing around the area.
In a notice posted this week, the town said bins at the municipal shop have been filled beyond capacity, with items stacked above closed lids or left on the ground.
Officials are asking residents to hold onto recyclables if bins are full rather than leaving them beside the containers.
“If this continues, these bins may no longer be available for public use,” the town said. “Let’s all do our part to keep our community clean and ensure recycling remains a service we can all benefit from.”
The town emphasized that lids must be able to close and that residents play a key role in keeping the program viable.
