Subject: Overflowing garbage dumps — urgent attention required

Sir,

I am writing to bring to your notice the deplorable condition of garbage dumps in our locality. Overflowing bins are an eyesore and pose serious environmental and health hazards. They emit foul odour and attract stray animals and scavengers, spreading disease.

I urge your office to identify systemic flaws in the waste collection system. Key issues include insufficient collection vehicles, leading to backlogs, and irregular cleaning of dumping sites. Regular schedules must be enforced and additional vehicles deployed.

Prompt action will greatly benefit residents' health and the city's cleanliness.

Yours faithfully,
Dev Arora
