Dear Sir, I am writing
this
letter to inform you about the
garbage
collection
system
not working properly at our place, and the problems it is causing.
To begin
with the collection
system
, the trucks have collected
garbage
twice a week.
However
, it has changed now.
Thus
, a lot of
garbage
has been piling up in the neighbourhood.
Furthermore
, we dumped
garbage
in three different bins – segregating between food, plastic and paper, but now we dump it into one bin.
Moreover
, the
garbage
collectors have been asking for money from us in order to collect the
garbage
.
Therefore
, I feel the
system
has been falling apart, and your attention to
this
is required.
Due to
the broken
system
, there are developments of insects and bacteria in our neighbourhood.
This
is leading to various diseases, and a lot of people in our neighbourhood have admitted themselves to hospitals for treatment.
Also
, there has been a bad smell felt by us making it difficult to live in our homes. In order to fix
this
problem, the local council should do a regular audit of the records of the
garbage
collection points.
Furthermore
, disciplinary actions should be taken against the staff members who violate the guidelines set by the local council.
Moreover
, legal proceedings have to be taken for them. I look forward to hearing from you, and if you need any
further
information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours Sincerely Isuru Bandara
