Hi Neighbors -

Just trying to locate my large recycling bin! Came home from work and the trash bin was in the street, but recycling nowhere to be found. Thought I'd see if anyone pulled it out of the street or mistakenly took an extra! (The trash guys also haven't been putting my bins back in front of my house lately either.) I'm on Downing.

Thanks!

Alicia
