Dear Thomas,

 

Thank you for your request for information about public use dustbins.

 

In its current format, your request is very broad and we may not hold the
information in the way you are looking for.   I am writing to ask if you
could clarify your request.

 

Please could you let me know if there is a particular area of council’s
work that your request covers. For example, dustbins in parks, at swimming
pools, or reserves or on road sides.  Is a type of place or a specific
area you are interested in?

 

Please provide your clarification by the end of 8^th October 2020.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Samantha

We are unable to provide you with the information you asked for

 

On 30/10/2020 you asked for information about dust bins. 

 

Please see below response from Stacey Van Der Putten, who is our Group
Manager for Metro Services. 

 

We searched for this information in our maintenance database, however we
were unable to extract information specific to dustbins. Therefore, we are
refusing your request under section 17(e) of the LGOIMA, as the
information does not exist.
 

We understand that this isn’t the outcome you hoped for.

 

You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review how we’ve responded to
your official information request. You can contact the Ombudsman at
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
