Paul Johnson of the City of Hamilton says people sequestered at home during the COVID-19 crisis has led to the bins becoming illegal dumping grounds.

An illegal dumping misunderstanding led police to descend on a rural home with guns drawn over the weekend.

An Edmonton senior is sharing her frustration after seeing video of two people unloading junk into her disposal bin.

Shingles were found dumped in a soybean field on Brookside Road just east of Cobourg.
