SIR, — It has taken a while, but after a few false starts our family has adapted to using the recycling food caddy.
I am a keen environmentalist but when I first heard we needed to use the brown bin for food I was a bit concerned about the mess and the smell of recycled food scrapings.
Isn’t it amazing how quickly you can get used to change.
I am now delighted to know we are setting a great example to our children to encourage them to separate household waste.
More than 20 years ago I lived in a European country where recycling was part and parcel of family life.
We might be a couple of decades late, but it is better late than never.
Your etc,
SATISFIED HOUSEHOLDER.
