Garden Waste WRAP Recycling Signs
Garden Waste WRAP Recycling Signs identify designated garden waste collection points with a green background, white leaf symbol, “garden waste” text and Recycle Now logo. Position them on or beside the relevant container so staff, visitors and other users can select the correct waste stream before disposal.
Where to Install
Position the sign on the garden waste container, directly above it or immediately beside the collection point so people can clearly connect the message with the correct receptacle before disposing of waste. Where several recycling containers stand together, keep the sign visually aligned with the garden waste container and facing the main approach.
Viewing Distance
The distances below are practical size-selection guidance rather than certified visibility specifications. Readability will vary with lighting, viewing angle, obstructions and the amount of competing visual information around the recycling point.
| Size selected | Practical viewing guide | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| H 210 x W 148 mm | Approx. 1–3 metres / 3–10 feet | Close-range containers and compact collection points |
| H 297 x W 210 mm | Approx. 3–5 metres / 10–16 feet | General recycling areas and normal pedestrian approaches |
| H 420 x W 297 mm | Approx. 5–8 metres / 16–26 feet | Larger collection areas where earlier recognition is useful |
Expected Safety Outcomes After Installation
Correct positioning should make the garden waste collection point easier to recognise before someone reaches the container. The sign supports clearer waste separation by reducing uncertainty at the point where a disposal decision is made.

Installation Guidance
Frequently asked questions
Which material should I choose? Vinyl has self-adhesive backing, while Rigid Plastic is intended for separate wall or container mounting with fixing materials sold separately. Choose according to the mounting surface and installation method you require.
Which size should I select? Choose H 210 x W 148 mm for close-range identification, H 297 x W 210 mm where people approach from several metres away and H 420 x W 297 mm where earlier recognition across a larger collection area is useful.
Does the sign explain which types of garden waste are accepted? No. It identifies the garden waste stream but does not provide a list of accepted or excluded materials. Add collection-specific instructions where users need more detailed disposal guidance.
Can I rely on this sign in poorly lit or dark areas? The sign is non-photoluminescent and non-reflective. If users need to identify the collection point in low-light conditions, make sure suitable lighting is provided.

Related signs for household and organic waste areas
If food-preparation waste is collected separately, use kitchen waste recycling signs alongside the relevant container. This helps you distinguish indoor organic waste from garden material.
For nearby general waste, add household waste disposal signs so users can see where non-garden items should go. The separate message helps reduce unsuitable items entering the garden waste stream.
Where paper is also collected on site, position paper waste recycling signs at the matching recycling point. This gives users another clear route for a common dry recyclable.
To complete a wider sorting point, review household recycling signs for organised waste areas for other clearly defined waste streams. You can then choose companion signs that reflect the containers actually provided.
