Helping Councils Deliver Smarter, Greener, and More Secure Permit Services
Across the UK, councils are looking for new ways to streamline garden waste collections, cut admin costs, and support their environmental goals. Traditional permits can create challenges – from lost or missing stickers to fraud and non-recyclable waste – making it harder to provide a consistent, resident-friendly service.
Whitespace and CMPDS have partnered to bring councils a modern, environmentally friendly, and fully integrated permit solution – while still offering the option of traditional permits for authorities that prefer them.
This gives councils the flexibility to choose between our sustainable Enviropermit or a traditional version, depending on their needs.
The Challenge
- High administrative effort managing annual garden waste subscriptions.
- Lost or misplaced stickers leading to repeated resident calls and complaints.
- Fraudulent activity where permits are removed or reused.
- Non-recyclable materials undermining sustainability targets.
Our Joint Solution
The partnership between Whitespace and CMPDS introduces a seamless, secure, and eco-conscious approach to permit management:
Enviropermit – the next generation of garden waste permits:
- 100% recyclable, liner-free permits integrated directly into the resident letter — ensuring every delivered letter includes the correct permit.
Tamper-evident and fraud resistant:
- Once applied, the permit cannot be removed and reused. Any attempt leaves a clear visual mark so crews can easily identify valid collections.
Fully customisable and council-branded:
- Personalised for each authority’s design and data requirements.
Simple to deploy with Whitespace integration:
- The solution connects smoothly with Whitespace systems, enabling easy setup and minimal disruption to existing processes.
