Stop Scammers

I came across this magnet. I have a few in the office if you would like one for your fridge. Come and see me.

City of Guelph / Garbage bins

I have heard that the City of Guelph gave warnings to people who do not put their garbage bins back at the end of the day, on pick up day.

It is my understanding that if you have been given a warning, and you continue to leave your bins out at the side of the road, or at the roadway within the interior roadway, the City will take your bins away and you will have to purchase replacement bins from the City. I am not sure of the cost, but this would be avoidable if everyone put their bins back at the end of pick up day. I think you have until 7:00pm.

Just letting you know folks, that the City is now watching what is going on with bins.

Thanks

Joan
