PIG BINS! Please be mindful where you are putting trash!

Dear Volunteers! Please please please be mindful of your trash. We have a farm that picks up pig food and this was found in the pig bin.. This could be very dangerous for the volunteers at the site moving the bag, the animals who might have been fed this, as well as the farmers who are handling the food too! 

We have ordered a new bin that will be PURPLE so it will be different from all other bins.
