Dear Ralph Hardwick
 
Freedom of Information Act 2000
 
Thank you for your request for information that was received on 28
February 2024  requesting:

For several months refuse collection has been sporadic with many missed
collections, not just individual properties, but whole streets.
The council portal identifies specifically the days that collections are
made and this includes the three forms of collection; Recycling, General
refuse and Green waste/food.

It would appear that refuse collection is poorly managed if at all.

Does the council have a specific plan for collection management to reflect
the collections identified on the council portal?
https://www.towerhamlets.gov.uk/lgnl/env...

This information suggests that there are 'rounds' which the relevant
refuse vehicle has to complete based on the council portal identified.

How are the various collections reported by the crews if they are not
collecting as identified on the council portal?
Is there a reporting mechanism by the collection crew to identify streets
and rounds that are missed?
What action does the management take when sections of rounds are missed?

Will the council publish what rounds have been missed, and identify when
those missed collections will be completed?
 
We are dealing with your request under the Freedom of Information Act
2000  and we aim to send a response by 27 March 2024.
 
In some case, a fee may be payable. If we decide a fee is payable, we will
send you a fee notice and we will require you to pay the fee before

The Freedom of Information Act 2000  may restrict the release of some or
all of the information you have requested. We will carry out an assessment
and if any exemptions  apply to some or all of the information then we
might not provide that information to you. We will inform you if this is
the case and advise you of your rights to request an internal review and
to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
 
We will also advise you if we cannot provide you with the information
requested for any other reason together with the reason(s) why and details
of how you may appeal (if appropriate).
 
Yours faithfully
