Clearly identify the collection point for used fluorescent tubes with a pink WRAP Recycle Now recycling sign. Choose rigid plastic or self-adhesive vinyl in three portrait sizes to suit the mounting position and approach distance.
Fluorescent Tubes WRAP Recycling Signs identify collection points intended for used fluorescent tubes. Position one beside or directly above the correct recycling container so staff, visitors or waste handlers can recognise the waste stream before disposing of a Fluorescent tube.
Where to Install
Position the sign immediately above, beside or on the designated fluorescent-tube recycling container, where it can be seen before somebody decides where to place a used tube. For collection areas containing several waste streams, keep it visually associated with the correct container rather than mounting it between competing recycling points, where its meaning could become ambiguous.
Viewing Distance
Select the size according to how far away people are likely to be when they need to identify the fluorescent-tube collection point. The distances below are practical positioning guidance rather than certified viewing-distance specifications; lighting, mounting height, surrounding information and the viewing angle will all affect recognition.
| Sign size | Best suited to | Practical approach distance |
|---|---|---|
| H 210 x W 148 mm | Directly beside or on a recycling container | Approximately 2–4 metres |
| H 297 x W 210 mm | Small collection areas and short approaches | Approximately 3–6 metres |
| H 420 x W 297 mm | Larger or shared recycling areas | Approximately 5–8 metres |
Expected Safety Outcomes After Installation
At the collection point, the sign should make the intended waste stream clear before a fluorescent tube is put down or placed into a container. Used alongside your waste-handling arrangements, it supports more consistent segregation without replacing the procedures needed for collecting and handling used tubes.
✅ Users can recognise the fluorescent-tube recycling point before disposing of an item.
✅ Clear identification reduces uncertainty when several recycling streams are positioned together.
✅ Staff and waste handlers receive a consistent visual reference for the designated collection point.

Installation Guidance
Placement errors to avoid
❌ Do not position the sign midway between several recycling containers where the intended waste stream is unclear.
❌ Do not mount it where stored tubes, open doors or other equipment can regularly obscure the message.
❌ Avoid placing a small version high above a collection point if users normally approach from several metres away.
What this recycling sign does not replace
❌ Do not rely on the sign as instructions for handling broken or damaged fluorescent tubes.
❌ Do not use signage as a substitute for your site's waste segregation, storage or collection procedures.
❌ Do not assume the sign alone makes an unsuitable container appropriate for fluorescent-tube collection.
Best practice at the tube collection point
✅ Position the sign where it is visible before a person reaches the disposal decision point.
✅ Keep a clear visual connection between the sign and the container it identifies.
✅ Check periodically that lighting, stored items and surrounding information have not reduced its visibility.
Frequently asked questions
What are Fluorescent Tubes WRAP Recycling Signs used for? They identify the designated collection or recycling point for used fluorescent tubes, helping people distinguish it from other waste streams.
Where should I position the sign? Mount it directly above, beside or on the relevant fluorescent-tube recycling container so the connection between the sign and the collection point is immediately clear.
Which size should I choose? Choose H 210 x W 148 mm for close-range identification, H 297 x W 210 mm where the sign needs to be recognised across a small collection area, 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 and is suited to an appropriate clean mounting surface. Rigid plastic is a separate sign panel and requires suitable fixing materials, which are sold separately.
Does this sign provide instructions for handling damaged fluorescent tubes? No. It identifies the recycling stream rather than providing handling or emergency instructions. Your site should retain the appropriate waste-handling procedure for damaged tubes and other situations requiring additional controls.

Companion signs for lamp and electrical collections
If smaller lamps are collected separately, add low-energy bulb recycling signs at the matching receptacle. This helps users tell bulb collections apart from fluorescent tube disposal.
For a more general electrical stream, use mixed electrical waste recycling signs where varied electrical items are accepted. They suit collection points that extend beyond lighting waste.
Where batteries are handled separately, position used battery recycling signs beside the dedicated container. This gives users a clear prompt before they place small electrical items into the wrong stream.
To compare other recycling messages, review household recycling signs for electrical and general waste before adding signs around the wider collection area. It helps you keep related waste streams clearly differentiated.
