QUESTION NO. 7

QUESTION: Councillor E. Tuffy

To ask the Manager if he can provide an updated report on presentation rates of the Brown Bin and the Black Bin in the Lucan Electoral Area, on a weekly basis, since the roll out of the Brown Bin became fully operational in 2010, and if he can provide figures for the average presentation rates of Black Bins, before and after the full roll out of the Brown Bin Service?

REPLY:

The refuse collection  data is captured on a route by route basis rather than by local electoral area, with routes criss-crossing local electoral areas in many instances.

Presentation rates of the black bin fortnightly are approaching 50%.

Brown Bins fortnightly are at a presentation rate of approximately 20%. 

The Green bin has a 70% presentation rate.

Previously the weekly black bin collection operated on a presentation rate of approximately 30%.
