Charities Lose Funds Handling Useless Donations in Medicine Hat
In Medicine Hat local charities like Canadian Mental Health, Salvation Army, and the Canadian Diabetes Association incur high disposal costs for junk donations dumped beside clothing bins. CMH spends 20k to 30k yearly hauling unsellable items to the dump, with combined three year disposal at about 83,008.70. The city provides a 1,200 annual subsidy. Alderman Pearson seeks policy review to possibly raise subsidies and include REDI Enterprises.
