Calgarians are being reminded to keep an eye on their Blue Cart recycling bins.
The fire department reports three of those bins were set ablaze overnight in the span of 45 minutes in Marlborough.
No injuries were reported.
Homeowners are being urged to make sure those bins, which are usually full of combustibles are stored away from their homes or garages.
If they are set on fire, the flames could quickly spread to other structures.
In a perfect world, those bins would only be put out in the alley or on the street on garbage collection day.
