NOT CHEAP, THEN! THE HIGH COST TO COUNCIL OF COLLECTING HOUSEHOLD WASTE

WHAT is the annual cost to North East Lincolnshire Council of collecting household waste? 

According to the authority, it amounts to total of £10,718,800 per annum which averages out at £206,130.76 per week.

Meanwhile, as of August 25, the number of missed bin collections in the borough since April was 1,868.

This seems to be about par with previous years.

The figure between April 2018 and March 2019 was 4,607.

The 12 months before that, it was 4,493.

Missed bins are picked up and emptied later by the regular crews, but NELC does not record the extra costs incurred.
