Is this more money in the Bin?

I see the mathematicians at Sandwell have been hard at work again,this time over lost Bins
Apparently 1000 bins are reported lost each month and "Research"  has shown that some people are requesting replacements when they still have their bins.?


hmmm?
If as they say 50% of requests are bogus, that means 50% are genuine and up to 500 a month disappear.

Assuming the council replaces the 500 bins within one month that also means there are
500 x 4weeks = 2000 possible missed bin collections ??????

I wonder if that shows up on their figures?


Sandwell Tory said
As for the "Research" on the Bin problem, I can only assume the council officials are still looking into it!
and have been for the last 12 months, as this problem was originally reported back in September 2011

So I ask.  Were is your council tax money going?

12 months x 500 x £20 each = £120,000, enough to keep a few Libraries open

“We don’t know where they all go" said a council official last year, well is 12 months is long enough to find out.
Meanwhile at 1.5mt high, 6000 bins when stacked on top of each other would create a pile 9000 metres, as high as mount Everest???
