Dear Mr Smith

Re: Freedom of Information Act and Environmental Information Regulations -
FOI and EIR Request No 1397.

I am writing in respect of your recent enquiry for information held by the
Authority under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act. We have
dealt with your request under the Freedom of Information Act.

Your request for information has now been considered and the information
requested is enclosed.

You requested the answers to the following questions:

Please provide details of all such collections of waste materials from the
villages around Huntingdon covered by your council for the months of May,
June and July 2010. In particular I would like to know, by village only:

1. The dates of each collection from each village.

Folksworth - 28^th, 29^th & 30^th June

Farcet - 5^th, 6^th and 7^th July

2. For each of these:

a. The authorised items to be collected (ie garden waste, sofa,carpet etc.

Any household waste, including all items normally collected as part of our
household bulky collection service as detailed on our website at

garden waste, grey bin waste

b. Whether fees were paid or not for each individual collection and

Individual collection fees were not paid

c. If no fee charged, what was the reason for this.

these are arranged with the Parish Council's who pay for the service

3. The total amount of revenue received from these collections for this
time period.

£1250

4. Since the introduction of multiple bin collections when
BLUE/GREEN/BLACK were provided, how many refuse collectors have been the
subject of any form of disciplinary proceedings for putting the wrong form
of waste onto a refuse carrying vehicle.

Regarding this question, the blue recycling bin was introduced at a later
date to the grey and green, as the question relates to all three bins we
have taken this to mean from the date all three were in operation. The
answer to this is one,

5. Please provide figures by financial or calendar year and provide a list
of what the punishments were, suitably anonymised to avoid conflicts with
