Councilmember Michael Mulcahy warns these bins are illegal and divert resources from legitimate nonprofits. Residents like Vivian Cohen and Kristen Harris are shocked and supportive, urging the public to report unpermitted bins via email to help clean up the city and ensure donations actually reach those in need.
