How can councils increase garden waste subscriptions, improve renewals and make collection services easier to manage? The Little Green Magazine brings together practical advice, council case studies and insights from The Little Green Event 2026. Published by PermiServ, now part of Routeware, this issue explores how better communications, resident data and technology can support successful garden waste services.

Inside, you’ll find ideas for:

• Growing subscriptions: Use resident data to identify eligible households and reconnect with lapsed subscribers.
• Improving renewals: Simplify the sign-up process and deliver timely, targeted reminders.
• Supporting collection crews: Combine visible permits with in-cab verification to confirm subscriptions.
• Making communications count: Apply behavioural insights and lessons from other councils to encourage participation.
