Sir, – I now have servicing my house a brown bin lorry, a green bin lorry and a black bin lorry supplied by Greyhound.
My neighbours have also a choice of service from Panda, OZO, Thorntons and more. What seems like a never-ending stream of refuse trucks circles the area in anticipation of waste.
In privatising this function could our city council and corporations not have considered the benefits of a night-time operation as with most of our EU neighbours? The current arrangements are not only a traffic nightmare but also bring dangerous HGVs into residential areas at school-going times. – Yours, etc,
