Product details
Identify the recycling point before disposal
Install the sign where people make the disposal decision: on the bin, immediately above the opening or at the recycling station. It suits offices, warehouses, workshops, schools, retail centres, managed buildings, event areas and other shared facilities with a general recycling stream.
Match the sign to the collection service
The artwork communicates general recycling but cannot define every accepted material. Council and commercial collection rules differ. Confirm the service rules and use dedicated paper, cardboard, containers, organics, batteries or e-waste signs when a separate stream needs more precise instructions.
Choose the catalogue size and material
Choose 90 × 125 mm for compact bins and cupboards, 180 × 250 mm for indoor stations, 225 × 300 mm for shared areas, or 300 × 450 mm for larger and visually busy locations. Polypropylene is the default rigid material; vinyl, Corflute and Colorbond cover smooth-surface, temporary and stronger fixed installations.
Reduce confusion and contamination
Keep the recycling sign directly associated with the correct opening and visually separated from other waste streams. Remove obsolete labels, use consistent signs across the site and add item-specific instructions where users may otherwise place non-accepted material in the recycling bin.
Check the sign format before ordering
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.
- Australian Government – Waste and recycling — The national waste and recycling overview distinguishes multiple material streams and links to consumer recycling information; check the applicable local service before labelling a recycling point. Read source (opens in a new tab)General national information; local council and commercial collection rules still apply.
- Recycling Near You – Local recycling information — The service helps users check recycling options and accepted materials by location and material type. Read source (opens in a new tab)Use the current local or contractor instructions for the actual collection service.
Before ordering
- Confirm that the location is a general recycling point rather than a dedicated material stream.
- Check the accepted items with the council, building manager or waste contractor.
- Choose the catalogue size for the bin, station and normal viewing distance.
- Choose polypropylene, vinyl, Corflute or Colorbond for the mounting surface and exposure.
- Position the sign directly beside the correct opening and away from conflicting waste labels.

Frequently asked questions
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?
Volume-pricing examples are 5 signs: 8% off, 10 signs: 15% off, 25 signs: 24% off, 50 signs: 32% off, 100 signs: 40% off. Savings increase gradually between these quantities. The total increases as you add more signs, while the average price per sign falls or stays the same. The configurator calculates the total for your selected quantity.
