What an utterly selfish family the Wades are with regard to their household rubbish (The Argus, February 3).

Recycling only paper and bottles is pathetic. What about their plastic, cardboard and tins? Why would they have to trawl through their rubbish to recycle since, once finished with, tins, plastics and cardboard could be put in relevant boxes. That's not rocket science.

As Mrs Wade is a full-time mum, I suggest she spends a bit more time toilet training her 20-month-old son then she would not have so many nappies to throw away.
