SIR - Re the letter praising the recycling service (T&A, June 21) I'm afraid it gets the thumbs down from me.

For nearly two years I have made numerous phone calls, plus a letter, to Councillor Hawkesworth which was passed on to the crew and my bin has still not been emptied.

Being disabled I found it hard to put the bin out and then drag is back still unemptied.

I asked for the bin to be removed and was assured that in future it would be collected, emptied and returned. Three months later it still hasn't been emptied.

I hope Mr Gumeniuk has more luck than me in trying to recycle his paper bins etc.
