South Holland District Council

Built from WebSearch result excerpts this session, direct fetch of sholland.gov.uk was blocked. The per-item charges, the note that some items (e.g. a 3-piece suite) count as more than one item, and the Tuesday/Wednesday/Monday-Friday split by item type all came from search excerpts quoting the council's own bulky/electrical waste collection pages, so charges and items are treated as verified. No specific wait-time-in-days figure or phone/address was found in search results, so those are left null.
