Thank you for your comment.

As this donation box is placed on private property, the city is unable to have it removed.The owner of the property would have to ask the specific charity to have it removed (if they desired).

If this is causing a health and safety issue, the Zoning department can be contacted as they have enforcement privileges (401)845-5451.

Thank you for keeping Newport Clean and Green.

It's a fire hazard. Rats are present. Kindly make an internal staff referral to zoning. You are the Clean City function, yes? I will now feature this response across social media platforms. Thank you.

This issue has been sent to zoning for review and possible remediation.

Can we please leave this issue as "Open" until zoning has reviewed and taken action?

Pink bin is now gone. Discarded material has been cleaned up. Zoning should be closing this.
