SIR - Regarding the headline You will be fined for not saving scraps' (Worcester News, May 21).

They want you to store food scraps in slop buckets! This sort of recycling is getting silly. We might as well go back to keeping a pig or two in the back garden and feed them the slops or maybe a few chickens. I think a little common sense here is needed for when it comes to recycling.
