<p>The garden waste service is a chargeable kerbside collection service that runs from April 1st to March 31st every year. Residents are invited to sign up from early March onwards to receive collections for the time-period specified above. After signing up, the resident is sent a garden waste permit in the form of an adhesive sticker for their bin or a polytuff tag to attach to their bags by looping it around one of the handles. The permit serves as an aid to the collection crew in identifying which properties are signed up to the service.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This year we had about 50,000 sign ups across 43,000 households. This means for the new service year, we would require approximately 55,000 permits and tags (52,000 permits, 3,000 tags) to be printed and posted over the March 2022 - March 2023 period. The first mail-out to be the week commencing 7th March. The majority of the permits will be issued during the first three months. Design files for the permits will be supplied, with artwork as HR PDF with crops and bleeds.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The permits would need to be pre-printed, with the customer address printed onto the permit and mailed out twice weekly. Address details will be provided via a spreadsheet twice weekly. Residents can sign up for a total of 2 permit stickers or two tags per household. The spreadsheet will indicate the number of permits that need to be included within each letter (1 sticker, 2 stickers, 1 tag or 2 tags). Permits should be sent out second class via Royal Mail within 5 working days of receiving the data. Inclusion of a mail-merged covering letter (folded and hand inserted) is also being considered.</p>
