Description
Guide dog owners to waste disposal points with a pictogram-based sign that works without words. The bin symbol is instantly recognised, reducing confusion and encouraging responsible clean-up at parks, walking trails, and public open spaces. Supplied in Colorbond, polypropylene, or aluminium, sized 225×300 mm, 300×450 mm, or 450×600 mm to suit different mounting locations. Pre-drilled holes allow quick attachment to bin posts, bollards, or fencing at eye level. UV-direct printing ensures legibility through seasons of sun and weather. Councils and parks departments rely on Platinum Signs for consistent signage across multiple sites. Trade accounts include volume discounts, flexible sizing, and nationwide delivery.
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
Where should I position this sign on a waste bin installation?
Mount it at eye level on the bin post itself or on an adjacent fence or bollard, positioned so it's visible from the main walking path. This ensures dog owners spot it as they approach the disposal point.
Does the pictogram design work in areas with diverse language backgrounds?
Yes — the bin symbol is universally understood without text, making it effective in multicultural parks and high-traffic walking trails where multiple languages are spoken.
How durable is the UV-direct printing in direct sunlight?
UV-direct printing bonds the image into the material surface, resisting fading for 5+ years in typical Australian outdoor conditions. Colorbond and aluminium substrates offer superior longevity compared to polypropylene.
Can I order signs for multiple waste stations in one go?
Absolutely — bulk orders of identical or mixed sizes receive trade pricing. We handle multi-site council orders regularly and can coordinate delivery across your parks network.
What's included with the sign?
Each sign arrives with pre-drilled mounting holes and ready to install. No additional hardware is required; you supply bolts or screws to suit your bin post diameter.
