Q. What do I need to do to put up an advertising banner?
A.
Banners and Posters
The Transport and Technical Services Department allows a limited number of banners and posters to be placed on a restricted number of sites. These banners &/or posters can only be advertising charitable or non profit making organisations events at the discretion of the Department.
The Department allows a maximum of two weeks advertising per event
The sites are as follows: Posters (excluding July & August)
Victoria Avenue lamposts
Railing Banners

Banner railing rules

Raised Banners rules
If you wish to use a raised banner site permission must also be obtained from the Parish of St Helier and the owners of the above premises before the banners are put in place.
It is also a requirement that you should obtain suitable insurance cover, since the Minister for Transport and Technical Services will not accept responsibility for injury to persons or damage to property caused by the hanging of such banners.
Walks & cycle rides etc.
Permission must be obtained from this Department and the appropriate Parish Connétables prior to walks and cycle rides taking place in the Island . If you intend to collect money as part of a charity event along the route, permission for this is required from the Bailiff’s Chamber.
We will need to know:
· Date
· Route
· Number of people taking part
· Start & estimated finish time
· Organisers contact details
Dustbin Hire
Dustbins can be hired from this Department. A standard rate of £60 will be charged for delivery and collection of up to 15 empty bins (£30 each way). In addition, bins containing waste will incur a charge of £50 per hour for emptying.
If you wish to collect and return and empty the bins yourself, there will be no charge. However, bins containing waste on return will incur a charge of £50 per hour for emptying. Collection or delivery of bins can only take place during normal weekday working hours.
Organisers of events are asked to ensure that glass is collected separately from other wastes. New procedures require organisers to mark clearly on the waste containers ‘Glass Only’ and ‘No Glass’ and ensure that if contractors are employed to remove the waste they are made aware of the need to separate the glass from other waste.
The bins mentioned are standard ‘octopus’ bins. Separate ‘dog waste’ bins or ‘Euro’ bins are not available. All dog waste may be placed in the standard bins, as the dog waste is not handled separately from general waste.
Portable Recycling Banks
The Department now has available portable recycling banks free of charge for events. It would be prefered if you could collect and return the bins but if this is not possible we can arrange this for you. For more details please contact the Recycling Officer, John Rive on tel; 448585 or e-mailj.rive@gov.je
Anyone wishing to reserve a site or apply for permission to hold an event needs to contact the Events Coordinator, Fiona Viel, in writing/ by email: f.viel@gov.je
