WITH regards the letter from Mr R Slater and his recycling problem (Warrington Guardian, January 8).

I don’t know where he lives but the binmen for us are excellent.

If we have any extra recycling or general waste they usually take it away.

Having five children at home over Christmas there was a lot of paper and cardboard packaging that was required to be taken.

Everything I put out was taken, even the stuff that wasn’t in the blue bins.

The lads who usually operate on our run are friendly and helpful.

The waste I did have left over I took to Woolston waste recycling centre, it was very busy but the staff were doing their best to deal with members of the public.

As for the long wait this in my opinion was due to people not planning ahead when they loaded their vehicles. Instead of organising the load to make life easier and quicker they dumped it all in the car and then had to sort out at the tip. Taking up their time and slowing things up for those waiting behind.

A big thank you to our binmen without whom we would be up to our necks in it.
