• I’VE noticed Veolia’s waste management service deteriorate considerably in Camden, and sought out data to back this up: the following are missed bin collection reports in Camden April to March:

2018-19: 4,194*
2019-20: 8,492*
2020-21: 11,263**

It seems as though Veolia are increasingly struggling to manage Camden’s waste, despite the borough paying £338million*** for this service (and a contract extension due in 2024) up from £140million from the previous contract****.
