Dear Mr. Doucette,

I am writing in response to your article that appeared in the June 3rd edition of the Halifax Chronicle Herald. In your article, you claimed that residents have lost faith in curbside recycling because collection is so unreliable. You used the example of how, recently, your blue bin sat at the curb for three days before a truck finally arrived. As a collection supervisor, I can assure you that incidents such as yours are rarely the fault of our crews. Perhaps the focus of your frustration should be directed to the sorting rules set by the region, and to the disposal habits of residents themselves.
