Frequently asked questions
What's the most popular size for office recycling bins?
The 225×300 mm size balances visibility and space on standard office bins. For compact areas, try 180×250 mm; for large communal stations, 300×450 mm works best.
Is polypropylene better than vinyl for recycling bins?
Polypropylene is more rigid and durable in high-traffic areas, while vinyl is faster to apply and suits smooth bin surfaces. Choose based on your mounting method and expected wear.
Can I add drill holes for bolting to bins?
Yes. Drill holes are available as an extra and can be sized for standard bolts or rivets, ensuring secure mounting on metal or plastic bins.
Do you sell complete recycling-label kits?
We don't bundle kits, but you can order 'Paper & Cardboard', 'Bottles & Cans', and 'Non Recyclable Waste' in matching sizes and finishes for a unified system.
How long do these signs last outdoors?
Polypropylene lasts 2–3 years in direct sun; vinyl may fade faster. For outdoor bins, consider colorbond or add lamination to extend life.
