Relief box collections

Post by lewesspudgun »

Just wondering if all boxes have to have a relief collection. Towns and rural. Any downloads much appreciated.

the USO is one collection per box per day Mon-Sat, there is no requirement to do any more than that, are you getting asked to do more than one collection per box?

Heres the actual legislation

Requirement 2: collection of letters or other postal packets
(1)At least one collection of letters every Monday to Saturday from every access point in the United Kingdom used for the purpose of receiving postal packets, or any class of them, for onwards transmission in connection with the provision of a universal postal service.
(2)At least one collection of other postal packets every Monday to Friday from every access point in the United Kingdom used for that purpose.


Interestingly we dont seem to be required to pick up packets from post offices on a saturday :)

All the boxes outside (along with the POs) get swept 3 times a day Mon - Fri at our DO.

to be fair the more they get swept the better, its more hours getting kept in the office, ours are twice a day and the main ones 3 times
