Cost of stickers seems wasteful

Regarding Snohomish County Public Works’ “We Scoop” stickers:

Enough, already! We’ve received two, one each the past two weeks.

How much did it cost the taxpayers of Snohomish County to print and mail these stickers?

I’m positive the money spent on this program could have been distributed to much needed projects, such as shelters for the homeless and food banks.
