Unwelcome dumping in our bins

Sophie from Northland

Our Playcentre has been the recipient of some unwelcome rubbish in the last few months, someone has been dumping their household waste in our bin, filling it up.
Not only is this a nuisance, it stinks! The rubbish is clearly NOT from our volunteer run ECE as it is full of cigarette butts. They have also filled our Recycling Bin with general waste, which we have had to then empty.
As we pay for the bins to be emptied, we would like this to STOP.
Has anyone else had this happen to them, and what did you do to prevent it happening again? We would like to avoid locking up our bins as that would be a nuisance, and at present, building a lockable bin bay is beyond our time and financial means.
This is not ok.
