Ergon Thrift employees in Riverview, New Brunswick, have been experiencing frequent theft and vandalism of their donation bins. The thieves have emptied the bins, leaving clothes strewn across the parking lot, and caused significant damage to the locks. This issue has also affected other thrift stores in the area, such as Dayzee’s Fashion, which has had to reduce the number of bins it places in the community due to excessive theft and vandalism. Local organizations that rely on donation bins for fundraising, such as the IWK Children’s Hospital Foundation, have also been impacted by this problem. Property owners are increasingly asking thrift stores to remove their bins due to the mess and damage they cause. Despite efforts to improve security, the cost of each bin has increased significantly, putting a strain on these organizations’ budgets.
