We also made the BBC news with our then gritting map as the council didn’t have their own. https://www.mappa-mercia.org/2010/02/true-grit.html Its very likely that Birmingham’s current gritting routes and bin locations are historically similar to those we worked with all those years ago. Ideally we would get an update from them so that we can verify/fix the OSM data. We know from past experience that location data for objects within BCC’s data sets can be off, especially if it was collected by third parties. Therefore their locations of bins is a useful aid for locating them on the ground but unwise to consider an import per se even if the licence on the data turns out to be acceptable to OSM.

I wonder if there's a quicker way of porting the grit bin locations into the OSM without manually entering each and every one. https://maps.birmingham.gov.uk/webapps/winter_maintenance/
