I was unimpressed by your article on recycling in Barnet ("Recycling to expand", Times Series, March 6).

Yes it's great we have achieved this amount, but how does it compare with our neighbours?

So we're going to get cardboard and plastic bottle recycling later this year - Harrow has had it for at least two years already.

And what about food waste? In Harrow you can now buy recyclable food bags but these are still banned in Barnet.
