IN theory I have no problem with this new recycling idea; however, my kitchen and garden now look more like a waste disposal site.

It was our turn to have our regular black bin emptied and as we had had to wait two weeks we had one extra bin liner full and I duly put it next to the black bin, only for the bin men to ignore it. I rang the council and was told that there would be another wagon coming round to pick up any extra waste. Predictably, it did not turn up.

I fully agree with the recent correspondent who said this stupid scheme is totally unworkable and will eventually cause serious health problems, not to mention encouraging fly-tipping.

EXASPERATED
