These figures include capital and depreciation costs and all
incidental charges.
Collection has been improved by the extended use of low
loading Motor Vehicles, the Council now having four vehicles of
this type engaged upon refuse collection.
Owing to the capacity of the existing destructor being insufficient
to deal with the quantity of refuse now collected, it has
been necessary to continue barging.
The present contract calls for a weekly delivery of 250 tons of
refuse for disposal by barge; the balance is disposed of by incineration
at the Council's Refuse Destructor.
Arrangements are still in force whereby a special daily collection
of refuse is made from Claybury Mental Hospital.
