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.
The council does not currently limit the amount of waste receptacles presented for general household waste, dry mixed recycling, or food waste collections.
The only exception would be that the garden waste bins would be limited to the number of bins subscribed and paid for.

2. Provide a list with the names of all the bins/receptacles available for collection by the council.
