Thank you for your request. I have now completed gathering relevant information to enable me to answer your questions.

2. Is it possible to get a breakdown by council ward where each new bin/box is required?

4. Can you tell me how many requests for new bins/boxes have been successfully delivered to residents up to June 30 in 2013?

I am unable to provide you with the number of deliveries from January to June 2013 as the Environment Contact Centre implemented a new computer system from end of June to log and record deliveries for all service requests which includes wheelie bin and box requests. I am unable to access the data on the previous system that was being used.

However here are the number of completed deliveries between July to December 2013 - 2267

Brunswick Square, Adelaide Crescent and Shirley Street – these were all requested 2 June 2014.
