Habitat ReStore spending thousands dealing with illegal dumping at Nanaimo location
Nanaimo’s Habitat for Humanity ReStore accepts a wide range of household items and building materials. What they aren’t looking for is people’s garbage.
Mid-island chapter executive director Rob Hallam told NanaimoNewsNOW they are dealing with a steady increase in people illegally dumping what is effectively garbage outside their store.
“I don’t have any idea why it’s happening. It’s pretty awful to think somebody would willfully think at 9 o’clock at night they can pull up in front of our place and dump a load of goods off that should only be going to the landfill.”
The latest incident occurred sometime overnight on April 10, when a large load of garbage was left outside the Mostar Rd. location.
