Description
Reinforce responsible pet ownership and keep general waste streams clean with a dual-message sign that identifies the bin's purpose and reminds owners of their clean-up obligation. Councils and facility managers use this sign to reduce contamination at dedicated dog waste stations throughout parks and walking trails. Choose from Colorbond steel, polypropylene, or anodised aluminium in three sizes (225×300 mm to 450×600 mm). All materials are UV-printed for fade resistance and come with pre-drilled mounting holes for quick installation on bin posts or adjacent fencing. Platinum Signs supplies councils and parks departments with bulk orders at trade rates. Custom messaging and sizing available; Australia-wide delivery included.
Final sign type, wording, size, placement and material depend on the site risk, project specification and applicable jurisdiction. Confirm the requirement with the relevant WHS adviser or regulator.

Frequently asked
Why is a separate dog waste bin sign necessary if general bins exist?
Dedicated dog waste bins prevent contamination of general waste and recycling streams. The sign ensures correct disposal and reminds owners of their legal obligation to clean up, reducing council costs and environmental impact.
Can the message be customised for my council or facility?
Yes — we offer custom text and wording for bulk orders. Contact our sales team with your preferred message and we'll provide a proof before production.
What's the best mounting height for maximum visibility?
Mount at eye level (approximately 1.4–1.6 m) on the bin post or nearby bollard, facing the main approach path. This ensures owners read the message before they reach the bin.
How long does the print last in Australian sun?
UV-direct printing typically lasts 5–7 years without significant fading. Colorbond and aluminium substrates extend the sign's overall lifespan; polypropylene may yellow slightly over time.
Do you offer volume discounts for multi-site orders?
Automatic volume pricing is 5–9 signs: 8% off, 10–24 signs: 15% off, 25–49 signs: 24% off, 50–99 signs: 32% off, 100+ signs: 40% off. The configurator is the source of truth and updates the unit price as quantity changes.
