Recycling Bin Destroyed by Fire
July 7, 2007
 The
Abitibi
paper bin at Mustang Recycles was found Saturday morning
to have been destroyed by a fire that appears to have been
set deliberately. Mustang police were notified and said
they suspect the arson was committed on the Fourth of July,
as spent fireworks and beer bottles were scattered around
and in the burned bin. The bin is blackened and warped and
the plastic lid is completely melted off.
Mustang Recycles volunteers are concerned that Abitibi
will not replace the paper recycling bin. A local school
Abitibi paper bin was recently destroyed by fire and was
not replaced by that company. Abitibi is understandably
reluctant to replace vandalized bins due to the risk of
vandalism to the new bins.
Mustang Recycles is open Saturdays (except for holidays)
from 9am – 11am. Residents are encouraged to take
their paper to the Abitibi paper bins at various
churches and schools.

UPDATE: Abitibi replaced the paper bin on July 20th.
