The system used for rubbish/garbage collection in your local area is not working properly. This is causing problems for you and your neighbours. Write a letter to the local council. In your letter: • describe how the rubbish collection system is not working properly • explain how this is affecting you and your neighbours • suggest what should be done about the problem

Dear Sir, The reason I am writing to you is an issue that our community “West Summer” is facing due to the faulty and inadequate
rubbish
management system, especially for the
last
couple
weeks
Change preposition

. Let me elaborate on the situation.
First
of all, the number of
garbage
bins
installed in the area is insufficient considering the total population.
Furthermore
, for the fortnight, the
garbage
collectors pick up the
rubbish
only once in two days,
instead
of picking it up on a daily basis. Since the
garbage
bins
are overflowing with litter, it attracts some street dogs and local citizens are worried about their safety.
Moreover
, it has
also
become a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other insects that can lead to the spread of contagious diseases.
In addition
, a bad odour from
rubbish
bins
reaches our houses and it makes
unbearable

to breathe. Considering all of the above-mentioned, as a long-term solution, more large
garbage
bins
should be installed.
Also
,
garbage
collectors should pick up the
rubbish
each day without any gaps. I hope you will take immediate measures to solve the problems and suggestions will be considered. Yours faithfully, Kao Mao
