Letters / Guidance for retailers
In your article (‘Carrier bag charge’, SN 14/10/14) you report some retailers contacting trading standards to say they haven’t received information packs from Zero Waste Scotland about the Carrier Bag Charge, which comes into force in Scotland on Monday 20 October.
While we endeavoured to make sure that all retailers were contacted by direct mail through a third party company, we’d like to reassure any retailer who has not received a pack that all the relevant information and resources – including retailer guidance, posters, artwork and staff cue cards – are available from our dedicated website www.carrierbagchargescotland.org.uk.
