SIR - Mike Harrison, Worcester's chief of recycling, is talking a load of waffle.

It's downright cheeky asking people to forget the bin-collection issue. Most people would like the black bin emptied every week because eventually it will become a health-hazard, breeding spores and bacteria over a fortnight.

It's pretty obvious to me the councillors are ignoring the wishes of the majority, so come on, Mike Edwards, get rid of the stinking bins and no more waffle!

As for re-cycling I entirely agree with that, and collecting it every fortnight is okay.

But it was only recently reported that half the stuff collected for re-cycling nationally goes into landfill because it isn't sorted properly.

So let's go back to weekly collections of the black bins because the majority are calling for it.

JOHN SHEARON, Worcester.
