Another death in a box of clothing donations

The manufacturer of clothing collection stores used by charitable organizations everywhere in Canada announced on Tuesday that it had ceased to produce the metal container model which was recently involved in at least two deaths.

Rangeview Fabricating, a company in the Toronto region, said that its objective was now to modify existing containers to improve their safety.

The director of the company, BrandonAgro, argued that in 25 years, the charitable organizations that use his bins had never experienced any problems.But with at least eight documented deaths in Canada since 2015, including that of a woman in Toronto Tuesday morning,M.Agro estimated that it was necessary to act immediately.This measure could oblige charity organizations to give up certain anti -theft tips and to focus first on the protection of vulnerable populations, saidM.Agro.

The director of RangeView maintains that the bins most often involved in deaths, two of which in as many weeks, are of "mailbox" design.He recommends that charitable organizations modify them for the moment, pending a new concept that is both security and the flight test.

On December 30, in West Vancouver, a 34 -year -old man died after stayed in a tank made by Rangeview.His death encouraged municipal authorities to seal donations and seek safer solutions.

A new death on Toronto Tuesday took place in the same way, according to the policewoman Genifferjit Sidhu.The agents were called shortly after 1:30 p.m. when a person reported having seen a woman partially stuck inside a bac - still a rageview.The firefighters sawed the box, but the death of the lady was noted on the spot.M^me Sidhu a déclaré que l'affaire n'était pas considérée comme suspecte et qu'aucune enquête criminelle n'était en cours.

"Mortal traps" for homeless

This drama pushed the mayor of Toronto, John Tory, to write to the municipal license committee, which was precisely reviewing the regulations on these used clothing collection bins.M.Tory asked the committee to include security as part of this examination and accelerate the process.

The defenders of the homeless sounded the alarm about these bins, which they even call "fatal traps" for vulnerable populations.Jeremy Hunka, of a Vancouver community center, explains that people in homelessness often turn to these bins to get clothes or even shelter, without realizing the danger that awaits them.

In addition to five deaths that occurred in British Columbia, a 32-year-old man was found dead in a box of donations last November in Cambridge, Ontario, and another in their twenties died in a bin similar to Calgary, inJuly 2017.

Diabetes Canada announced last week that 240 of his bins had already been modified in Ontario only, to make them safer.B'NAI BRITH organization, to whom the baccalaureate involved in the deadly accident on Tuesday in Toronto, did not indicate if he planned to modify his donations of donations, but he described the death of this woman as"Terrible and tragic".

En plus de mettre au point des prototypes à l'interne,M.Agro a déclaré que son entreprise s'était associée à un professeur de l'Université de la Colombie-Britannique, qui a chargé des étudiants en génie de quatrième année de concevoir des bacs à la fois sécuritaires et à l'abri du vol.
