FOI request (FOIR-291632320)

Missed bins

Requested Tue 05 January 2021
Responded  Tue 12 January 2021

1. How many missed bin collections does the council have to deal with annually?

2. What is the annual cost of missed bin collections to the council?

Response

1. This differs from year to year and is influenced by any number of variables. However, to give some idea, during 2020 Hastings Borough Council received 5,253 missed collection requests. To put that into context, for the same time period our contractor carried out over 3.1m collections.

2. Missed collections are included within the core price of the contract and therefore not an additional annual cost.
