Frequently asked questions
Where exactly should I mount this sign relative to the bin?
Mount above the bin at eye level (1.4–1.7 m) so smokers see the instruction BEFORE reaching the receptacle. This positioning triggers intent to use the bin from the approach.
Does this variant reduce litter better than standalone bins?
Yes — pairing clear instruction with visible bin placement increases compliance by 40–60% compared to unmarked receptacles. The sign creates an explicit behavioural cue.
What size works best for standard outdoor bins?
Available sizes are 180 x 250mm (Compact), 225 x 300mm (Small). 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 laminate this to withstand spills near the bin?
Absolutely — lamination is recommended for receptacle-mounted signs where ash dust and moisture accumulate. It makes cleaning easier and extends the sign's life.
Do you supply the receptacle or just the sign?
Platinum Signs manufactures the sign only. You'll source the bin separately; we recommend stainless-steel or powder-coated receptacles rated for cigarette disposal.
