Dear Lauren Smithson
Thank you for your request for information about missed bin collections,
which we received on the 29th of August 2020.
The information you requested is detailed below.
1) - The number of missed bin collections in 2018, 2019 and 2020
2020 (up to 6 Sept 2020): 3,522
2019: 14,684
2018: 10,065
This equates to a missed collection rate of 0.1% and therefore a
successful collection rate of 99.9% based on total collections between 1st
Jan 2018 & 6th September 2020.
2) - How many extra bin lorries had to be sent out to pick up bins missed
during their routine collections in 2018, 2019, 2020
0
3) - The additional costs to the council resulting from missed bin
collections in 2018, 2019 and 2020
0
4) - The average weekly and annual costs to the council of collecting
domestic waste, as in the regular landfill waste, food waste and recycling
created by homes which is collected by the council.
The total for 2018/19 is £4,826,354. This includes all kerbside and bulky
collections but not the Household Waste Recycling Centre as we do not have
a breakdown of the running costs of the site.
If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the
right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be
submitted within two months of the date of receipt of the response to your
original letter and should be addressed to: The Monitoring Officer, Civic
Offices, Holton Road, Barry, CF63 4RU.
If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have
the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision.
