THE recycling black box which we are provided with is only one-third the size of the large grey bin which is now emptied only fortnightly. What, Councillor Stella Smith, are we meant to do with the rest of the rubbish, most of which cannot be recycled under council guidelines?
Many residents in this ward, even if they are fortunate enough to get through to the constantly engaged customer services helpline to order an extra black box, are still awaiting delivery three weeks later.
I have yet to speak to anyone who objects to recycling but, as one resident said to me: all I ask for is to have my bin emptied weekly.
COUNCILLOR
MICHELLE WISEMAN,
Pilkington Park Ward.
