I READ with interest your article in the Journal (January 21) about ‘waste changes’ and I have to say it is about time that we should be able to recycle a wider range of plastics from the blue bin.

I look forward to hearing more information from the council as to what else we can leave out for kerbside recycling and hope that food waste starts getting collected separately like in so many other neighbouring councils.

I am, however, disappointed that the changes will not take effect until August next year – that’s 18 months away.

Why does everything have to be so slow?
