Thanks for the wheelie bins

The arrival of the Wheelie Bins has caused much comment from Manukau residents ("Don't supersize me!" June 18). As a person nearer 80 than 70, who has a long walk from her unit to the roadside, I welcome the bin and thank Manukau Council for delivery of this. Mine will enable me to place the bag of household rubbish on top of the paper and recyclable items to transport it down the driveway to leave it on the roadside, thus eliminating the present need to make two trips to take paper, household rubbish and recycling bin to the kerb. Regarding the statement in the 18th June Aucklander, where the woman interviewed said there is no way she could push a fully laden bin to the kerb, surely as a person living on her own it would be well nigh impossible to fill one of these bins in a fortnight. Well done Manukau City.
