Dear Mr Smith, My name is Jimena, I live in Tugun, and I am writing to you in regard to the garbage collection system
that is
not working well at all. My neighbour and I are very disappointed with
this
situation, as we have been living here for many years and
this
is the first time that we have experienced problems with the
rubbish
collection. For some reason, the
rubbish
collector is coming every two weeks
instead
of every week, he is
also
not collecting the
rubbish
from every bin, leaving some of them that are on the street positioned in the right place to be collected.
Furthermore
, having an excess amount of
rubbish
in every house is causing rats invasion. We do not know how to handle
this
problem. So please, now that you are aware of
this
situation I hope you can send a collector as soon as possible and cleaners to disinfect our street. We are good citizens and we do not deserve to live in these conditions. Thank you for your attention on
this
matter, I eagerly await your response. Yours sincerely, Maria Ilaria
