I AM writing to complain about the fortnightly bin collection. Many years ago I lived in Holland, and where residents there are keen recyclers, with reliable weekly collections, so I am used to carefully recycling my household waste.

However, we are a family of four, with a elderly cat who uses her litter tray every day.

Despite recycling everything possible, I find I cannot manage with the fortnightly collection.

I should not have to drive several miles to my mother's house, to put my rubbish in her bin.

I shouldn't have to drive around in the rain every week looking for a cardboard recycling unit that isn't full.

And I really shouldn't have to be sneaking little bags of rubbish into public litter bins!

Bolton Council - get a grip!!

It's not working!!
