This was a genuine gap last session; the council's own bins and recycling pages had blocked automated access including via proxy. This session, plain WebSearch (not fetch) returned excerpts directly attributed to both stirling.gov.uk/bins-and-recycling/special-uplifts and content.stirling.gov.uk/bins-waste-recycling/special-uplift-of-bulkyitems giving the £55.30 charge, the 5-item limit, the phone booking route and the over-60 free-uplift concession, so no fetch was needed to get past the block. Full items list and precise wait time were not confirmed, so itemsVerified stays false and waitTime is left null rather than guessed.
