SIR - Re chips, wheelie bins and recycling (T&A, August 30). If they make a charge for overweight wheelie bins a certain section of the community would be unfairly penalised.
I am a 74-year-old disabled pensioner, while my 84-year-old wife suffers from advanced Alzheimer's and is incontinent. She has two home-care workers to bath her and toilet her four times a day.
We don't have a wheelie bin. The refuse department supplies us with a bin liner and collects it from our garden every week.
I have to put 28 wet and soiled pads plus kitchen waste and papers in the same bin. How do I recycle under these conditions?
Other towns and cities provide yellow hospital-type bags which they deliver and pick up for incineration. Bradford does not provide this service.
