Description
Use this Recycling sign to identify a general recycling bin, waste station or collection point. The verified portrait artwork combines the recycling symbol, illustrations of common recyclable items and the exact RECYCLING legend, helping people distinguish the recycling stream before discarding an item. The catalogue sizes are 90 × 125 mm, 180 × 250 mm, 225 × 300 mm and 300 × 450 mm. Polypropylene is preselected as the practical rigid option for routine indoor and general site use. Self-adhesive vinyl suits a clean, smooth bin or wall; 5 mm Corflute suits temporary campaigns and events; and Colorbond steel provides a stronger rigid face for mechanical fixing. Optional holes apply only to rigid materials. Position the sign directly on or immediately above the correct bin or opening. Keep it close enough that users cannot confuse it with an adjacent general-waste, organics, paper or container stream. Repeat the sign on separate approaches where one face is not visible, and keep the symbol and complete legend unobstructed. This is a general recycling identification sign. It does not guarantee that every illustrated item is accepted by the local council, building manager or waste contractor. Collection rules vary, and contamination can cause recyclable material to be rejected. Confirm the accepted materials for the service and use more specific waste-stream signs where the contents need to be tightly controlled.
This is a general recycling identification sign, not a universal accepted-items label. Waste and recycling services differ by location and contractor. Confirm the collection rules and use more specific stream signage where required.

Frequently asked
What does this Recycling sign identify?
It identifies a general recycling point using the exact RECYCLING legend, recycling symbol and illustrations of common recyclable items. It does not define which materials a particular council, building or waste contractor accepts.
Where should the sign be displayed?
Place it directly on or above the recycling bin or station, where it can be seen before an item is discarded. Keep it close to the correct opening and separate from general-waste or organics signs so the intended stream is unambiguous.
Which size should I choose?
Choose 90 × 125 mm for a compact bin or cupboard, 180 × 250 mm for an indoor waste station, 225 × 300 mm for a more prominent shared area, or 300 × 450 mm where the sign must stand out in a larger or visually busy space.
Which material should I choose?
Polypropylene is the default rigid option. Self-adhesive vinyl suits a clean, smooth bin or wall, Corflute suits temporary campaigns and events, and Colorbond steel provides a stronger rigid face for mechanical fixing.
Does this sign guarantee that every pictured item is accepted?
No. Accepted items vary between council and commercial waste services. Confirm the collection rules and use a more specific stream sign where contamination is a concern.
What volume discounts apply?
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.
