Question From: County Councillor Gareth Ratcliffe Subject: Garden waste collections in Powys
Question:
As we enter our 3rd year of garden waste collection, I have a few questions around this service. Overall, it seems to be doing well but I would welcome some data to understand if it's working well.
Can you please provide the data for the following: How many people have signed up each year? How many renewals each year? how many bins have been delivered? How many have been collected from residents who do not wish to continue in the scheme? What is cost against recovery each year?
Minutes: Response by Head of Service:
1) How many people have signed up each year?
* Up to 29th March 2021
2) How many renewals each year?
* Up to 29th March 2021, more are expected to renew, please see below
3) How many bins have been delivered or resubscribed?
* Up to 29th March 2021
4) How many have been collected from residents who do not wish to continue in the scheme?
No removals have yet taken place. We collect from all of the previous year’s subscribers for the first few collection cycles of a new season, even if they have yet to resubscribe, so as to encourage the continued use of the service. We will then notify the customers who have yet to pay in April, indicating that if they do not renew we will begin to remove bins.
5) What is cost against recovery each year?
It is important to note that whilst we are working to make the service cost neutral to the authority, savings have been made due to the removal of the garden waste banks for which no income was received along with the regular need to deal with the contamination.
