Blue recycling bins have started showing up at homes around Airdrie, and some residents have expressed concerns on Facebook that the bins don't close properly.

The City of Airdrie responded via Facebook, posting a picture of a warped bin with information as to the cause.

According to the City, the warping is caused by both the cold temperature and the transportation of the lids. The lids were packaged and transported together in large quantities and sat for days in the cold. Once they are attached to the bins, they appear to be misshapen and don't close fully.

In the post, the City assured that once the weather warms up, the lids should settle back into shape and there should be no problem closing them.
