Description
Label your recycling stream clearly with a durable 'Bottles & Cans' sign for workplaces, offices, and community facilities. This information sign reinforces sorting behaviour at the point of disposal, reducing contamination and improving collection efficiency. Polypropylene 1.6 mm and self-adhesive vinyl suit interior walls, bins, and breakroom doors. Four sizes—90×125 mm up to 300×450 mm—fit any space from compact kitchens to large waste-collection areas. Lamination and drill holes are optional extras for added durability. Trade buyers benefit from bulk discounts and streamlined ordering. We stock all sizes and ship Australia-wide with minimal lead time.
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
Should I use vinyl or polypropylene for my bins?
Self-adhesive vinyl sticks directly to smooth bin surfaces and is quick to apply. Polypropylene 1.6 mm is more rigid, suits wall or post mounting, and offers better durability in high-traffic areas.
Will lamination help if the sign gets wet?
Yes. Lamination adds water resistance and extends the sign's life in damp breakrooms or outdoor bin areas. It's especially useful if your facility has frequent cleaning or moisture exposure.
What sizes work best for small office kitchens?
Available sizes are 90 x 125mm (Extra Small), 180 x 250mm (Compact), 225 x 300mm (Small), 300 x 450mm (Medium). Viewing-distance notes are a practical selection aid, not a substitute for checking the approach distance, lighting, mounting position, wording and site risk assessment.
Can I order matching signs for all recycling streams?
Yes. We stock 'Bottles & Cans', 'Paper & Cardboard', 'Non Recyclable Waste', and other stream labels in matching designs and sizes, ideal for consistent workplace messaging.
Do you offer custom text or logos?
We do. Contact us with your requirements and we'll provide a quote for bespoke design and production, including bulk pricing for large orders.
