Confiscated recycling bins

Nicolas Bosma made this Official Information request to Dunedin City Council

The request was successful.

From: Nicolas Bosma

Dear Dunedin City Council,

How many yellow recycling bins have been taken back by the council -- such that households no longer have use of them?

My understanding is that after a certain amount of warnings (eg: for trying to dispose of unsuitable things) the bin is taken away -- I seek the total number of times that has happened.

Yours faithfully,

Nicolas Bosma

Dear Dunedin City Council,

Please excuse my inaccuracy in filing this request.

I now realise it should have been made pursuant to the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987.

Please consider this request anew, within the purview of the above legislation.

Yours faithfully,

Nicolas Bosma

Dear Nicolas

 

I refer to your e-mail dated 3 October 2013 requesting information
relating to recycling bins and how many have been removed as a result of
improper usage.

 

Since the new kerbside collections contract began in March 2011,  42
recycling wheelie bins have been removed, as a result of contamination,
through the Three Strike process.
