Waste and recycling collection dates

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Fife Council should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Fife Council,

Please provide the following data, under FOI:

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 or Excel format, ideally with separate columns for the different parts of the address. A link to a web service does not meet my requirements: I need the source data. Please include the UPRN for each property if held. This is now permitted by the AddressBase licence. See https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/about/n... for details.
For an example of a suitable spreadsheet, see here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...
Variants are acceptable if they contain the requested data. Separate spreadsheets for each waste or recycling type are also fine.
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"
3) Details of all alterations to regular schedules for bank holidays etc. Please provide this for all future dates in 2017 and 2018. For example, see this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...
3) Details of any planned changes to these schedules.

Yours faithfully,

Matt Kane

Fife Council

Hello Shannon,
Thank you for this response. I am trying to process the data, but unfortunately Excel says that the file is corrupted and cannot be opened. Could you please try re-sending it, or ideally save the sheets as CSV files.
Best regards,

Matt
