SORRY to hear that Mr Hawkins' paper shredder was burnt out by Eldene's excessive junk mail (EA, letters, May 7).

However, I am unsurprised! Eldene receives mountains of leaflets for fast food/pizza/ Chinese/ Indian/other food outlets.

Perhaps some would reconsider if they knew that a large quantity are dumped in batches of six on the floor of our communal entrance hall.

N E GOUGH
