Make the correct kitchen waste container easier to identify at the point of disposal. The green portrait design combines an apple-core graphic, “kitchen waste” text and WRAP’s Recycle Now logo.
Kitchen Waste WRAP Recycling Signs identify collection points for kitchen waste using a green WRAP Recycle Now design with a white apple-core symbol. Position them on or immediately above the correct bin so staff, visitors and customers can recognise the intended waste stream before disposal.
Where You Should Install
Position the sign on the kitchen waste container or immediately above it, where people can connect the message with the correct bin before disposing of anything. At grouped recycling points, keep it visually aligned with the kitchen waste container rather than between neighbouring bins, where the intended waste stream could become unclear.
Viewing Distance Based on Selected Size
Select the size according to how far away people normally approach the recycling point. The distances below are practical positioning guides rather than certified visibility specifications; lighting, mounting height, obstructions and the surrounding environment will affect recognition.
| Size | Practical viewing guide | Typical positioning |
|---|---|---|
| H 210 x W 148 mm | Up to approximately 4 metres / 13 feet | Individual bins and close-range disposal points |
| H 297 x W 210 mm | Up to approximately 6 metres / 20 feet | Shared kitchens and grouped recycling stations |
| H 420 x W 297 mm | Up to approximately 9 metres / 30 feet | Larger communal areas and recycling points approached from farther away |
Expected Safety Outcomes After Installation
Correct positioning gives people a clearer disposal cue before they reach the bin, helping your kitchen waste collection point remain distinct from neighbouring waste streams.
✅ Earlier recognition of the container intended for kitchen waste
✅ Less uncertainty when several waste and recycling bins are positioned together
✅ More consistent sorting decisions at the point where waste is discarded

Installation Guidance
Avoid unclear bin identification
❌ Do not position the sign midway between kitchen waste and another waste container.
❌ Do not mount it where an open lid, cupboard door or other equipment regularly obscures the design.
❌ Do not choose a position that can only be seen after the user has reached or passed the disposal point.
Know what the sign cannot explain
❌ Do not rely on this sign to define every item accepted by your waste contractor or collection service.
❌ Do not use it to identify a container that is actually intended for mixed or general waste.
❌ Do not assume signage alone will correct poor bin placement or an unclear waste-station layout.
Make the waste stream obvious
✅ Keep the sign directly associated with the correct kitchen waste container.
✅ For self-adhesive vinyl, prepare a clean, dry mounting surface before application.
✅ For Rigid Plastic, select suitable separately purchased fixings for the mounting surface and maintain a clear sightline to the sign.
Frequently asked questions
What are Kitchen Waste WRAP Recycling Signs designed to identify? They identify the container or collection point designated for kitchen waste, helping people distinguish it from other waste streams.
Should I position the sign on the bin or on the wall? Either can work. The important point is that the sign is visually associated with the correct container and can be seen before somebody disposes of their waste.
Which size should I choose for a shared kitchen? Choose according to the normal approach distance and how visually busy the area is. The smaller format suits close-range bins, while the larger sizes provide greater prominence across shared spaces.
Does this sign tell people exactly which kitchen waste items are accepted? No. It identifies the kitchen waste stream but does not provide a detailed accepted-items list. If your collection service has specific restrictions, display those instructions alongside the sign.
Should I use the same sign above several different bins? Only where each container is genuinely intended for the same kitchen waste stream. At mixed recycling stations, position each waste-stream sign directly with its corresponding container to avoid ambiguity.

Related signs for kitchen and household sorting
If general refuse is collected alongside kitchen waste, use general household waste collection signs at the alternative container. This helps users separate ordinary household items from the kitchen waste stream.
Where garden material is handled separately, add garden organic waste recycling signs at the outdoor collection point. The separate message helps distinguish garden waste from food and kitchen waste.
For empty cartons collected nearby, position food and drink carton recycling signs at the correct recycling container. This gives users a clear route for packaging after food or drink has been used.
To compare more recycling streams, browse household recycling signs for kitchen sorting areas and select the messages that reflect your kitchen or communal setup. This helps you keep disposal choices clear without overcrowding the area.
