Collection Of Waste
Sir —As a visitor to the country I have watched with interest the collection of “waste.” Might I add a suggestion or two? In Australia recently on all busy street corners receptacles were placed for all “waste. In a very short time these wire bins were brimming with odds-and-end. On one particularly busy section the Government. built a special, gaily-coloured wooden box, approximately 10 feet long and six feet high, and marked different openings for “rags,” "papers and “metals.” This was a wonderful success in as much as the response of the public was magnificent and manpower was saved in various ways, e.g., collecting and sorting, not to mention tlie saving of petrol and cars. Just one more thing: I suggest small boxes be placed in the front and rear of tramcars. The number of tickets and cards I have seen thrown into the streets is, in my opinion, a scandalous waste.—l am, etc., DELPHINE GRACIE (MRS.). Wellington, August 1.
