An irate Bristol resident has dumped a food recycling bin on the doorstep of
a councillor claiming the bins have never been emptied since the scheme
started.
The bin came with an anonymous letter suggesting councillor Steven Comer got
a taste of the "stinking squalor" which was blighting the street in
Eastville.

Mr Comer said some isolated incidents had occurred but added homes missed
should call the council's hotline.

"We've had a few complaints but overall the scheme has been a success."
