Electrical Waste WRAP Recycling Signs identify designated collection points for electrical waste using a pink-and-white plug pictogram, “electrical” wording and the RecycleNow logo. Position them on or beside the correct container so users can recognise the waste stream before disposal.
Where to Install
You should position this sign directly on, immediately above or beside the container or collection point reserved for electrical waste. Keep it in the natural approach sightline so people can identify the correct waste stream before they reach the opening, rather than after they have already decided where to place an item.
Viewing Distance
Choose the size according to how far away people are likely to first identify the electrical waste point. The ranges below are practical positioning guidance rather than certified visibility distances; lighting, approach angle, obstructions and the amount of competing information can all affect recognition.
| Size option | Practical viewing guide | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| H 210 x W 148 mm | Approx. 2–4 m (7–13 ft) | Individual containers and close collection points |
| H 297 x W 210 mm | Approx. 4–7 m (13–23 ft) | Waste stations and room approaches |
| H 420 x W 297 mm | Approx. 7–12 m (23–39 ft) | Larger collection areas and longer approaches |
Expected Safety Outcomes After Installation
When the sign is positioned clearly at the electrical waste point, it gives people an earlier visual cue about where this waste stream belongs and reduces uncertainty when several disposal options are positioned together.
✅ Electrical waste points are recognised earlier during approach.
✅ Users can distinguish the electrical stream more easily from nearby general or recyclable waste.
✅ Staff have a consistent visual reference when explaining the correct collection point.

Installation Guidance
Placement errors around electrical waste points
❌ Do not position the sign so far from the container that users cannot tell which waste point it identifies.
❌ Do not hide it behind lids, cages, stored equipment or other waste containers.
❌ Do not place several conflicting recycling messages together without a clear visual link to the correct container.
What this electrical sign cannot do alone
❌ Do not rely on the sign to explain which specific electrical items your waste arrangement accepts.
❌ Do not use signage as a substitute for appropriate electrical waste collection and handling procedures.
❌ Do not assume colour alone will identify the waste stream where users may be unfamiliar with the system.
Clearer electrical waste identification
✅ Position the sign directly on or immediately beside the collection point wherever possible.
✅ Repeat the sign where containers can be approached from more than one direction or where one face may be obscured.
✅ Keep the sign clean, unobstructed and visible, and select a larger size where users need to recognise the collection point from further away.
Frequently asked questions
What are Electrical Waste WRAP Recycling Signs used for? They identify designated electrical waste collection points so people can distinguish this waste stream before disposing of an item.Does the sign tell people which electrical items can be recycled? No. It identifies the electrical waste stream, but you should still provide separate instructions where your collection arrangement accepts only particular types of electrical equipment.
Which size should I choose? Choose H 210 x W 148 mm for close collection points, H 297 x W 210 mm where the sign needs greater prominence, or H 420 x W 297 mm where people approach from further away.
Should I choose Rigid Plastic or Vinyl? Vinyl has a self-adhesive backing for a suitable fixing surface. Rigid Plastic is supplied without fixing materials, allowing you to select an appropriate separate fixing method for the installation point.
Can this sign replace electrical waste handling procedures? No. The sign helps identify the collection point but does not replace your site's waste instructions, segregation arrangements, staff information or other duties that may apply to electrical waste.

- ✓ Gives you a choice between a separate mounted sign and an adhesive format for suitable surfaces
Companion signs for electrical recycling streams
If bulky appliances are handled separately, use large electrical appliance recycling signs at that collection point. This helps users distinguish large equipment from smaller mixed electrical waste.
Where low-energy bulbs have a dedicated receptacle, add energy-saving bulb recycling signs beside it. The specific message makes lamp disposal easier to separate from general electrical items.
For loose batteries, position waste battery collection signs at the designated container. This gives users another clear electrical-related stream without implying batteries belong with general equipment.
To compare other household collection messages, explore household recycling signs for electrical waste and more before building out the surrounding recycling area. This helps you connect related streams while keeping each disposal route distinct.
