I am writing to request details regarding the waste collection service for the dumpster located on Brook Street, Hastings.

Specifically, could you please confirm:

1. The regular days of the week and times these dumpsters are emptied.

2. Whether there is a set schedule or if it varies.

3. The last recorded collection date for this location.

4. Whether proximity to businesses or footfall affects how often these bins are emptied.

5. Who is authorised to use these bins? Are they designated for public, residential, or commercial use only?

This information will help ensure local waste management is running effectively and clarify public access to these facilities.
