Dear Sir,
We read with interest your article in Seven magazine about Green Dot and the various ways of proper waste disposal. However, we all collect plenty of clean waste paper and cartons and need to dispose of these in addition to cans and bottles. Can you please let us know where in Limassol we can properly dispose of waste paper?

As an avid fan of Bill Bryson, I was ecstatic to discover this at a beach-side kiosk. And as it’s billed as a memoir, I knew it wouldn’t be hard going.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
