    Response

    Q1 - 427 Contaminated reports from 1st July 2019 - 11th December 2019.  Hastings Borough Council (HBC) do not hold any information prior to this date due to a change in contractor.

    Information relating to crew reports is owned and managed by the contractor which was Kier from July 2013 to 30th June 2019. Our contract is now with Biffa.

    Q2 - Zero, HBC do not issue fines for contaminated bins

    Q3 - Zero, HBC do not pay for the disposal of waste, this would be East Sussex County Council www.eastsussex.gov.uk
