SIR - In reply to the letter from a person who was unable to get new recycling refuse sacks, I had exactly the same problem, even though I was sticking on those labels that request the new sacks.

After contacting the council, I was told to write my house number on the bags before sticking them on to the sacks. Since then I have had no problem at all getting new recycling sacks.

FIONA ROBINSON,

Worcester.
