HAVE YOUR SAY on plans to cut bin collections

Helen Szynk, Loch Awe

‘It’s unacceptable, especially in the summer. The bins will attract flies and vermin.’

Mary MacInnes, Oban

‘It’s ridiculous. I live on my own so it will be okay, but I am thinking about people who don’t. ‘ The bins will be stinking and the seagulls will be even worse. It will be smelly and it’s not hygienic.’

Mark Ellis, 53, Oban

‘ What if you have fish and things in your bin? It would stink. It’s not on. You don’t want rubbish staying out for three weeks. It’s too long. It’s all cutbacks. What about the staff ? If they are collecting the bins less, will jobs be lost?’

Andrew Vennard, 36, Oban

‘I have a communal bin, so it won’t affect me, but it will affect other people. However, they obviously have to do it for financial reasons. It’s either that or schools or something.’

May Futon, Oban

‘I live in a block of flats and every two weeks is fine, but at the end of the two weeks the bins are full. So three weeks is a bit of a stretch. There will be nowhere to put the rubbish.’

Catherine Rennie, Kreith

‘If they changed my bins to a three-week collection that would really hack me off. If it was every three weeks the bins would be overflowing and the bin men might not take them because of that.’
