Food scrap bins
Jimmy King made this Official Information request to Auckland Council
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Jimmy King to read a recent response and update the status.
From: Jimmy King
Dear Auckland Council,
Can I please get an answer to the following questions.
How much did it cost to have the food scrap bins made and where were they made?
What other designs were there that weren't chosen?
How much did it cost to have the new trucks for collecting the bins.
How much will it cost per year to operate this food scrap bin scheme?
How much does it cost to replace a food scrap bin if damaged or lost?
Where are the food scraps being taken to when collected?
Why was it decided that this wasn't optional and instead made compulsory? Specifically, why can't we decide not to have the bins if we don't want them and have the $70 on our rates removed?
How much does it cost for each bin to be made?
Why is the actual food scrap bin a small white bin instead of having the black & green bin as the scrap bin?
Why were the specific trucks chosen for food scrap bins?
Yours faithfully,
Jimmy King
