The Tribune

EDITOR, The Tribune.

I AM in full agreement with Tired of Waiting, the letter to the editor published June 5. Governments may change but some things never change as in the inability of the Environmental Health Services to provide efficient garbage collection and disposal services.

For many weeks prior to the election garbage collection was disgracefully sporadic, only once every two weeks if we were lucky. Since then it has been shamefully non-existent and I am again, every week, forced to dispose of odious bags of refuse using my own vehicle to avoid a rodent epidemic and to prevent the front of my home looking like the Harrold Road dump site.

You had kindly published a letter of mine concerning this vexing and unhealthy problem during the previous administration's tenure to no avail; perhaps the only way to draw some attention to our plight would be to deposit our garbage in Rawson Square with the rest of the rubbish.
