We’re always keen to promote sustainable practice and green policies by reducing unnecessary waste as well as recycling what’s already in circulation where possible rather than manufacturing more. Recycling items from our Shaw’s Presiding Officer Sundries Packs reduces the environmental impact and costs associated with manufacturing and helps to maintain our keen pricing for the packs. It also allows participants to save money on Shaw’s purchases going forward.
REDUCE – Order only what you need
Shaw’s offer bespoke Presiding Officer’s Sundries Packs to ensure that there is no unnecessary surplus material wasted at the end of the day. Everything included is tailored for your exact streamlined requirements and is considered essential for effectively running the polling station on polling day.
REUSE – Return used wallets and pencil-cases for credit towards future purchases
We can collect your used sundries packs free of charge* – including any leftover content – and will assess the returned items’ suitability for future reuse. Credits are offered for reusable items (e.g. for every wallet that passes our quality check you will receive 50p credit and 25p credit for each pencil case). You will then be sent a credit note for the relevant amount. This is to be used at your discretion for any future orders; you will always be invoiced in full so that you can decide when it’s best to use the credit note. There is no expiration date on the credit.
*Subject to minimum credit value of £115.00, otherwise a collection fee of £18.00 + VAT will be deducted from your credit total.
RECYCLE – Order refill packs only to save money
Save £££s – and promote green policies – when ordering your sundries by purchasing our exceptional value refill packs. These can easily be inserted (if required) into your existing wallets to create complete sundries packs. Refill packs can also be tailored to your exact requirements just like the full packs. Refill packs can be as much as £1.00 cheaper than complete sundries packs.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us to discuss the best option for you.
Community donations
Any items not suitable for reuse at a future poll will be distributed to youth clubs, scout groups, schools, etc.
Next steps – Returning your used sundries packs
Previously used wallets and pencil cases must be returned to us by the end of October 2026 so that we can stock appropriately for the next election cycle.
