COUN Waller, it looks as if you are doing a fine job sorting out our rubbish problem, but would you answer a few questions on this letters page to keep us all informed?

How much does it cost to buy the green plastic boxes most people have been given for re-cycling?

What are the costs of the new vehicles bought to carry out collections?

When did York put in place a re-cycling plant and how much did it cost?

What profits have been made out of the collections of re-cycled paper, plastic or any thing else?

Who is benefiting from this profit?

Will York residents have rates reduced? Who buys the waste from City of York Council and for how much a ton?

D Wardell,

Malton Road,

York.
