Although the West Side Depot has completely closed, City workers say they found random items left in the empty space.

Susan Grimm with Airdrie Waste and Recycling said they only know of one incident, but they're hoping it won't start a trend.

"We've closed it on May 1st. This is the first instance but regardless of how much time has lapsed, it's not okay."

Grimm reminds Airdrie residents that the East Side Dept has extended hours now which allows more time for those bringing their items.

The area where the West Side Depot was is completely cleaned out with no bins, but there a sign to remind those driving there to head to the East location.
