MADAM – I am writing to say just how pleased I am with the new bins.

My family only fill ours up every two or even three months, saving us the hassle of putting it out.

I collect all our recycling in one large bag under the counter, which I then quickly sort through as I dump it in the bin.

Paper I put out every month or so, having stored it in bags, also in the big bin.

I find it so much simpler now.

Initially I was sceptical, like many others.

It’s great.

As for rubbish, we never fill a bin liner more often than three weeks.
