Dear Sir,

I am writing regarding an ongoing issue with the waste disposal system in the area.

Recently, we have noticed there are many garbage bags that have been left out by the collectors on collection days due to improper usage of colored waste bins. We believe these colored bins have made confusion for both residents and collectors, where garbage has been left outside unattended for days. Even though we previously had garbage disposal awareness programs, which distributed proper color-coded garbage bins throughout the region, we have not seen the ordinary system in a long time.

This has escalated the environmental pollution in the area, where animals tends to attract to accumulated waste and make a mess around driveways and roads. additonally this makes an unpleasent odor in the environment. Also, I believe animals consuming rubbish will negatively affect wildlife too.

So, I would like to request to restart the original garbage bin distribution system and educational programs, which will help new residents get to know about the recycling process. Also, same-colored bins will eliminate confusion within the population, while awareness programs can educate on strict disposal rules in the municipal.

I am awaiting hopefully for a positive reply so we can maintain the cleanliness in the neighborhood.

Yours Sincerely,
