"I am an Employee for Northwest Center a non profit organization.NWC is responsible for clothing drop off bins outside of the office and through out the Wa state. My concern is that these bins have homeless and other people who are constantly climbing into these bins taking the possessions and also using the bins as temporary shelters. The contents of the bins come from all over and walks of life some of which may be from people who have been exposed to covid-19. Drivers who pick up these contents from the bins have to remove the items by hand and the homeless who dig into these bins become exposed to such dangers helping the virus spread from county to county. NWC is using the the grey areas of essential worker rules saying that bins need to be cleaned out there for we are under the Sanitation and recycling guide lines. These bins at the moment I believe still cause a major health risk that is not essential to the community at the moment." - Jesus Mendoza
