Dear Matt Kane
Subject: Freedom of Information Request Ref No. 493232 / IDPR 50254
Thank you for your Freedom of Information request dated 17 July 2017.
You requested:
Please provide the following data, under FOI:
Question 1: Waste and recycling schedules for all properties, organised by address and postcode. Please
include day of the week and collection frequency (weekly, fortnightly etc) for each service type. I request
that all data is provided in CSV format, ideally with separate columns for the different parts of the
address. A link to a web service does not meet my requirements, though the source data for a web service
may. Please include the UPRN for each property if held. This is now permitted by the AddressBase
licence. See https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/about/news/2015/uprn-release-sharing-location-data.html
for details.
For an example of a suitable spreadsheet, see here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wUaMuJXBvjq6tcZmMkx5HE0_Jc5IlqRJ-
sPjeThyaDg/edit?usp=sharing
Variants are acceptable if they contain the requested data. Separate spreadsheets for each waste or
recycling type are also fine.
Response 1: Please find attached a download from our operational schedule database of information
relevant to your request. The information is not held against every UPRN and this has therefore not been
supplied.
Question 2: For collections that are not weekly, details of how to work out which week a collection will
be. For example, if a "Week 1/week 2" system is used, then please provide an example of a date in week 1
and a date in week 2. For example "2nd January 2017 was in Recycling Week 1"
Response 2: Not applicable. All of our collections are at least weekly.
Question 3: Details of all alterations to regular schedules for bank holidays etc. Please provide this for all
future dates in 2017 and 2018, if available. For example, see this spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16F8UQvcQIvOjCje_mA9vs5xHv6wRmjTk8drZTg0wJmg/edit?u
sp=sharing
Response 3: Our collections are unaffected by Bank Holidays with the exception of Christmas and New
Year. We do not yet have details of any changes to collection schedules for forthcoming Christmas and
New Year periods.
Question 4: Details of any planned changes to these schedules.
Response 4: There are no planned changes to these schedules.
If you are not satisfied with the way in which your request has been handled or the outcome, you may
request an internal review within two calendar months of the date of this response by contacting:
