Missed Household Bin Collections - 2025
For the calendar year 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025, please confirm: The total number of scheduled household bin collections that were missed by the Council (i.e. not collected on the scheduled day). If the Council does not yet hold a full-year figure for 2025, please instead provide: * the total number of missed collections recorded to date in 2025, and * the period that figure covers (e.g. January-June 2025). * annualise or prorate the available figure to provide a full-year estimate for 2025 Clarifications to minimise effort * This request is for a single total figure only. * I am not requesting ward-level, route-level, street-level, or contractor-level data. * I am not requesting explanations, causes, complaints, or remedial actions. * The figure may be provided as recorded, without validation, reconciliation, or review. * Where the Council records missed collections by exception reports, performance dashboards, or contractor KPIs, the headline figure from those sources is sufficient. Definition For the purposes of this request, a 'missed collection' means: * a scheduled household bin collection that did not take place on the scheduled day, including where the collection was later completed on a different day.
