Does your office nest households, is a blind eye turned by management or not?

Not if you arent putting them in the frame and doing them ''the old way''

When your frame has all double slots its a bit of a nightmare even trying to put them in and pull them out the frame tbh when theres more than 2
If you tolerate this, then your paid break will be next

We’ve never put them in the frame - and never been told too by any of our MANY managers

It seems that some do, though I’ve never heard of this in my fairly large office. I nest mine as do many others where I am, i’m not fiddling about with individual leaflets when I’m outside, there’s enough to do as it is.

So far as management are concerned in my office, they really don't care how they're dispatched so long as they're gone. Occasionally RM have a token bulletin about not nesting for the reason that you stated (I believe it was a complaint from Dominos last time?). I nest/collate them indoors as it makes handling and delivery on the outdoor stage much more efficient. Should the recipient beyond that point choose to immediately put them into their recycling without so much as a second glance then that's not my problem, I truly couldn't care less... :cuppa
You do the work, they get the loot. The men with the smiles and the 3 piece suits.

Never - do a loop a day or half a loop on a few bags - it’s not rocket science :left:

Sorry I don't understand your reply, you deliver to every house on that loop even if it doesn't have mail = cold call?
