Disabled man struggles with local council's recycling system, leading to rat infestations.

Matthew Rushton, a 51-year-old disabled man from Denbighshire, struggles with the local council's new recycling system due to his height and mobility issues. Unable to use the trolleybox system, he uses one wheelie bin for all waste, collected every four weeks, leading to rat problems. The council has visited to discuss solutions, and Disability Wales has called for accommodating disabled needs in recycling schemes. Rushton's complaints to the Ombudsman have not been upheld.
