People in service jobs usually get written about only when they do a bad job. But can I pay a compliment to the men and women of Merton's Garth Road Recycling Centre?

They are courteous, cheerful and helpful, always ready to give advice and physical help shifting heavy items. I've visited recycling centres outside London and never enjoyed the experience. The staff at Garth Road make a trip to the dump almost a pleasure.
