The emphasis of this Freedom of Information request is on the number of bins collected by the council and not on the number of bins provided by the council as standard. Please provide the following information for council bins for the financial year 2022-23: 1. What are the maximum amount of bins/receptacles that are available for collection by the council (i.e. general waste bin, recycle bin, food bin, battery bin etc)? This includes bins that residents are charged extra fees to obtain. 2. Provide a list with the names of all the bins/receptacles available for collection by the council.
3. If the bin available for collection requires additional fees from a resident, please note the bin requiring fees.
4. What is the average number of bins collected from a resident by the council? - Response

We do not hold information on the number of bins collected, only the number of bins issued. 144,766 receptacles could be placed out for collection.
Each household is issued with a receptacle for general waste and a receptacle for recycling, and 25,238 households also receive a food waste caddy for collection.
N/A Unfortunately Scottish Borders Council do not hold the information you have requested. Therefore we give notice under s17 of FOI(S)A 2002 and declare that the information is not held.
