Signage
To help you encourage colleagues and customers to recycle correctly we have made the full range of ‘Do the Right Thing – Use the Right Bin’ signage freely available to you. The signs use eye-catching graphics and colours, in line with the standard red/yellow/blue/green bin lid code that is becoming common across the country, to simplify recycling instructions.
As well as posters encouraging people to recycle by outlining its environmental benefits, there are specific collection signs for:
- Co-mingled (paper, glass, plastic, metal etc in various combinations),
- Paper and cardboard,
- Organics,
- Garbage,
- and many more materials.
Businesses, councils and government departments are welcome to use the signs for free providing they are not changed without permission.
To view and download a limited range of the signs check out the small sample below. To receive the full range of print quality PDFs all you need to do is send an e-mail to Planet Ark including your name, position and address using our Contact Form and you will receive a disc containing all the signs and posters. You can then print the ones you wish to use.
The Department of Environment and Resource Management, Queensland developed the signs and we thank them for making this resource available for all to use.
