WE are truly disgusted with the latest strike.

Our household, recycle and glass bins were due to be collected on Thursday, July 10, the day of the strike.

We were unaware that this would affect our refuse collection, the service being put out to contract for some time.

We make a big effort to recycle everything as diligently as we can.

We telephoned the council offices and were told to take our rubbish to our nearest waste disposal centre.

This is utterly ridiculous – our recycling bin alone is full to the brim, and we are in our 70s and 80s and paying exorbitant rates.

Are we going to get a refund?
