The dumpsters shown above that were located in the back alley between Mountain and First Ave. are empty in this photo.
They were usually full, overflowing and had become a major eyesore and source of irritation. Even light winds would distribute the debris far and wide, much to neighbours鈥� dismay. The Town of Neepawa has now replaced the dumpsters with rolling carts. Each business or unit gets one blue recycling cart and one black garbage cart. The cart/bins can be loaded mechanically by the garbage truck. One problem is they are not locked bins and owners have been advised to keep them inside overnight to avoid misuse by people who don鈥檛 live in the area. While the bins promise a somewhat neater system, finding space inside a building can be an issue. Also, garbage odour inside an apartment or shop may be a concern if bins are pulled indoors.
