Refuse workers: FoI

We're waiting for Karin Goodwin to read recent responses and update the status.

Dear council team

I am looking for the number of refuse workers in your local authority area. Could you please provide the FTE number of staff employed to work in the following financial years – April 2017/18, April 18/19, April 19/20, April 20/21 and April 21/22?

As well as the number of council staff employed to collect bins and recycling, could you tell me how many agency staff your local authority has employed in the years specified.

Finally could you tell me the cost to the council of employing these agency staff.

I'm making this request under freedom of information legislation, so look forward to the response within 20 working days. Please do not hestitate to contact me if you need any clarifications. You can also call me on [phone number removed].

Yours faithfully,

Karin Goodwin

Dear K Goodwin

Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002
Request for Information – Refuse Workers

I acknowledge receipt of your request for information dated 26 April 2022.

Unfortunately it is not clear from your request the exact nature of your enquiry and would be obliged if you would clarify the following:

the number of council staff employed to collect bins and recycling - is this above and beyond refuse workers doing this?

could you tell me how many agency staff your local authority has employed in the years specified - is this agency staff purely to carry out bins and recycling duties?

In the circumstances, I regret that your request will be on hold until such time as your request is clarified.

If you need any advice or assistance then please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours sincerely
