Waste and recycling collection dates
Dear Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council,
Please provide the following data, under FOI:
1) Waste and recycling dates for all properties, organised by address and postcode. Under Section 11 FOIA, I request that all data is provided in CSV format. A link to a web service does not meet my requirements: I need the source data. Please include the UPRN for each property. This is now permitted by the AddressBase licence. See https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/about/n... for details.
2) All information required to convert schedule or week codes to calendar dates, including changes for bank holidays etc.
3) Details of any planned changes to the schedules.
Yours faithfully,
Matt Kane

Thank you. You can send the file to [email address].

Best regards,
Matt
