Sir — I am struggling to understand the debate about complaints regarding fortnightly waste collection. Why is there so much waste to be collected from the complainers?
Perhaps there is an opportunity for them to take some responsibility for the amount of waste they are creating and do something about it. If there is a smell, why so much food waste?
Some suggestions are: Don't buy so much, don't cook so much, use the freezer more, eat date expiring stuff first, save left-overs for another meal, compost uncooked food waste, get a solar composter for cooked food waste.
Whatever it is, do yourself a favour and save some money.
