Green Bin - Food waste/Garden Waste Collection
Dear Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council,
I was wondering if you could give me a break down of how many Trafford residents have signed up for the Green Bin collection, by ward, and how many have not for the years 2017/2018, as well as how much revenue this made for the council for the financial year of 2017/2018 and where that money was spent.
Yours faithfully,
Michael Taylor
