DNAInfo NY Reports: New Jersey-based for-profit company deposited a collection of bright pink clothing donation bins across the neighborhood in the past few days — including on properties where owners said they didn’t give permission.

About half a dozen Our Neighborhood Recycling bins appeared on East Broadway, Rutgers Street, Norfolk Street and other spots last weekend, as first reported by Bowery Boogie. The company’s name is painted on the front of the bins, along with the words “Clothes, Shoes, Drop” on the sides.

DNAinfo spoke to several property owners who said they had not given permission for the bins to be installed on their land.

“The owners have not been approached by the organization,” said a spokesman for the developer Sumaida + Khurana when asked about the bin placed on Kenmare Street next to the building the developer purchased in March. The company did not say if it planned to ask for the bins to be removed.

Our Neighborhood Recycling manager Bernard Jones insisted that the company, which has a warehouse in Jersey City, got permission from all property owners to install them.
