JANE HACKETT,
Sir, - So the new Minister for the Environment is now suggesting charging us up to €5 a week for the collection and disposal of our household waste. So what is the annual charge of €84 in aid of? I thought this charge was to provide essential recycling facilities for the city in line with the polluter pays system.
I live within five minutes walk of a "bring centre" but lo and behold it is only open from 10 am- 4 pm from Monday to Friday. Therefore I have the added joy of having mountains of cans, bottles, paper and batteries awaiting collection in my backgarden. Any chance the Minister can come and collect it asap? - Yours etc.,
JANE HACKETT,
