Mississauga and Toronto Donation Bins Removed |
The Salvation Army National Recycling Operations has found it necessary
to remove its Donation Bins from Mississauga and Toronto as of April
10, 2009, due to misuse and abuse, by a small but persistent portion of
the public. Unfortunately, as is usually the case, we must take action
to address this small percent of the public that is abusing the process
and thus has made the continued use of these clothing bins impossible.
Many locations have become a dumping location for household items and
garbage. The Donation Bins are for gently used clothing as stated on
each bin.
The Salvation Army’s main concern is for public and personnel safety.
Many of these locations have become unsafe and unsanitary due to the
high volumes of garbage being left. Residents can continue to drop off
gently used items and clothing to The Salvation Army Thrift Stores in
Mississauga and Toronto. For location information and hours of
operation visit www.tstores.ca.
The Salvation Army National Recycling Operations exists to generate
funds to support Salvation Army programs. We efficiently and ethically
recycle and sell donated clothing and other goods in a way which
exceeds the expectations of our customers, while providing an
environment which is beneficial to the development and well-being of
our staff and volunteers.
The Salvation Army is an international Christian organization that
began its work in Canada in 1882 and has grown to become the largest
non-governmental direct provider of social services in the country. The
Salvation Army gives hope and support to vulnerable people today and
everyday in 400 communities across Canada and 117 countries around the
world. The Salvation Army offers practical assistance for children and
families, often tending to the basic necessities of life, provides
shelter for homeless people and rehabilitation for people who have lost
control of their lives to an addiction.
When you give to The Salvation Army, you are investing in the future of marginalized and overlooked people in your community. |
