My bluebin is missing, can you help me? After the wind storm on Tuesday, I found two of my bins at the park. One is still missing it has 37 marked on the side.

I also have two green bins at my house, anyone missing one?
Yesterday, there were some underneath mail boxes at Forecastle/Breakwater and Forecastle/Shores. Good luck.

There were also quite a few in the field behind the A&P!
Ours were in the feild at the end of our court and when we came home from dinner, someone had returned them and put them on our front step!....I thought that was soo nice and wanted to say ThankYou!!..=)....(they had our address on them)...
On Tuesday I saw a yellow bin running along Forecastle Rd, and then it turned north on WSG. It took my attention because it was lighter than the blue bins as it was scrolling very fast.
I know it's not fun searching for the bins, let alone putting back all the garbage spread, but I liked seeing the bins rolling and gliding and enjoying such a freedom pushed by the wind! The bins seemed to be happy Smile!
On Tuesday afternoon, I heard a noise that sounded like the sidewalk plow going down the street and wondered why the sidewalk plow was scraping non-existent snow from the sidewalk. When I looked outside, I saw about 10 blueboxes very briskly sliding down the street. They were going a good 3 or 4 houses per second so I wouldn't be surprised if some of them ended up across Victoria street. Once I got the baby safely down in her playard, I ran out and collected about 7 that had congregated in front of our house and stacked them all neatly beside a fire hydrant where they wouldn't blow away. It looks like everyone collected what was there's as they're not there now. It was hillarious watching them skate down the street though.

We found our blue bins, but are still missing a green bin. We're located on Tallships. Please let me know if you still have extra green bins... we really need ours!

We're still missing a blue bin. I believe it has our address on it but it hasn't found it's way home yet. This isn't the first bin with our address on it that hasn't found it's way home so I won't hold out hope that it'll turn and go buy yet another one.

Hopefully the gentleman that was taking two blue bins off of my front yard and then piled into his vehicle with them as I approached my house had found his own and that his address was actually on them. He left too quickly for me to ask.
Yesterday I saw some blue bins under the mailboxes in Breakwater:

Maybe you can find yours among them.
Not to promote myself but I have a solution that might help some people. I sell Mabel's Labels and we have a wonderful product for outdoor bins. It is a personalized "curbside" label that is red in colour shaped like a little house. It contains your address on it (however you would like it to show up). You get 6 labels for $18.50. They are guarenteed to stick so there is no point in someone else trying to swipe your bins. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about it. I know we live in a wind tunnel down here sometimes and it's frustrating to be looking for your bins all the time. I know it helps to find them with a red label on them.
