Recycling thieves have been raiding donation bins, stealing bottles and cans that are meant to benefit Scouts Canada.

Peterborough County OPP have charged two people following reports of a theft from a charity donation bin early Thursday in Keene, Ont.

The announcement comes after city council approved a new set of safety rules, developed in the wake of multiple deaths associated with the bins.

The witness captured the incident on his vehicle's dash cam.

The issue of people becoming trapped inside donation bins has been a deadly problem in this country.

After a short interaction with an officer, the man was able to roll out of the bin on his own. Police say he wasn't injured.

Since 2015, at least seven Canadians have died after getting stuck inside a clothing donation bin, according to the Canadian Press. The death of a Toronto woman Tuesday brings that number to eight.

Police said they received a call after 1:30 a.m. for reports of a woman trapped inside of a clothing donation box near Bloor and Dovercourt.

A number of charities serving Alberta that use donation bins are reviewing their safety protocol after the death of a man in Vancouver this week.

Crews were relieved to discover nothing in the bin except for donated clothing.
