MR Aubrey Isaacson writes (Letters, April 9) as a solicitor, claiming that he foresees many personal injury claims caused by the "defective" black recycling boxes. Does this mean that "where there is muck there is brass"?

On a more serious note, whilst recyclable and non-recyclable collections are every two weeks what happens at Christmas, New Year and bank holidays? It may be that you wait a month for your non-recyclables to be taken. Most improved council? Rubbish.
