DEAR News Of The Area,

I PUT my red bin out this morning.

It has never been so full since we stopped recycling our soft plastics.

We have the worm food tub, the green waste tub, the recycle tub and the rubbish tub.

Once we had a plastics tub, which we took every couple of weeks to one of the big supermarkets, who faithfully dealt with it.

Now… gone!

It again returns to landfill to remain for ever and ever.

Please someone – a company, Council, Government, anyone – deal with this appalling situation before we are buried in our own soft plastic waste which is polluting our precious land, waterways and killing species.

Regards,
Liz PHILPOTT,
Boambee East.
