The system used for rubbish or garbage collection in your local area is not working properly. It 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 Explain how this is affecting you and your neighbours Suggest what should be done about the problem
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing
this
email regarding some problems we have faced with rubbish collection, which has caused serious concerns for many residents, in our area.
As you might be aware, the collection time used to be 8 at night; however
, one week ago, we were informed that it would be transferred to 12 at midnight from the 1st of July.
A point that is
worth considering is that a significant percentage of people in our area, including me, are employees. This
means that everyone sleeps before midnight and, therefore
, will not be able to put out the litter at the due time.
You are requested to kindly revise the decision and change the time to its previous one. Also
, according to
our group consultation, 7 p.m. or the latest 10 p.m. also
can be dedicated to collecting the garbage.
We are looking forward to getting your reply,
Faithfully yours,
Maria SobhaniSubmitted by mojgan.sobhani on
