In one month, almost 15,000 wheelie bins were collected in one city.
Waste collection and recycling in Southampton has faced serious disruption following an upgrade to the system in operation.
The city council made the decision in January to allow waste treatment crews to return home after their rounds were over and to enforce contractual schedules.
Executives said the update was aimed at “limiting” an equivalent salary liability that had arisen.
He said it was obvious that one municipal staff organization had different general situations than others.
Members of the Management Committee, Supervisory and Control Officers and Labour Management on the disturbance.
The council then released the main points of the lost containers in February.
Neighbors informed the city council that the following collections were completed:
7,598 waste containers
7,027 recycling bins
221 glass containers
98 containers
The city council document says the total of 14,944 provides a “complete picture” of all the lost dumpsters, as everyone in the city would have reported.
Conservative adviser Jeremy Moulton said the real figure was “probably around 50 per cent, which is tens of thousands more than the 15,000 quoted”.
In a Facebook post, he said: “You only have two days to do [a] report online. . . Later, the council’s online page may not allow you to report it.
Council chair Lorna Fielker said: “Bulk bin collection is back and the build-up of shared bins in Southampton’s flats and commercial premises has been removed.
“I sense the frustration of citizens affected by the disruption and the council has deployed more teams to help eliminate missed collections and excess waste. “
However, the committee’s chairman, Liberal Democrat Councilman Richard Blackman, said recent court cases indicated that “the disruption will continue for some time. “
He said, “If management fails to gain impeachment control, it will face more rigorous questioning from the management, oversight and review committee. “
