Unemptied bins
BIN lorries have missed more than 60,000 Bradford collections in the past two years, new figures show.
BIN COLLECTION COMPLAINTS UPHELD BY WATCHDOG UP 12% ON LAST YEAR, SAYS REPORT
The data, released after a request by Liberal Democrat councillor Nicola Pollard, shows that 0.2 per cent of bin collections are missed.
Council bosses say this can be for a variety of reasons, from blocks in the road to vehicle breakdowns or bins not being left out on time.

New technology in the cabs of bin lorries now allows crews to record why each bin was missed, so the Council’s contact centre can update residents.
