Identify collection points for mixed textiles and clothes with a clear yellow WRAP Recycle Now sign. Choose the size and material to suit the container, position and likely approach distance.
Mixed Textiles and Clothes WRAP Recycling Signs identify collection points for clothing, footwear and accepted textile waste. Position them on or beside the correct container where people can see the message before disposal, helping keep the textile stream distinct from nearby recycling choices.
Where to Install
Position the sign directly on the mixed textiles and clothes container or immediately beside the collection point, facing the direction people normally approach from. The message should be visible before someone commits an item to the container, particularly where several recycling streams are grouped together. Avoid placing it behind bin lids, sacks, doors or other information that could hide the clothing and footwear symbol.
Viewing Distance
Choose the size according to how early people need to recognise the textile collection point. The distances below are practical positioning guidance rather than certified viewing-distance specifications; lighting, mounting height, sightline, approach angle and the amount of competing information can all affect readability.
| Selected size | Best suited to | Practical approach distance |
|---|---|---|
| H 210 x W 148 mm | Individual containers and close-use collection points | Approx. 2–4 m / 7–13 ft |
| H 297 x W 210 mm | Shared recycling areas and normal pedestrian approaches | Approx. 3–6 m / 10–20 ft |
| H 420 x W 297 mm | Larger recycling points and longer approaches | Approx. 5–9 m / 16–30 ft |
Expected Safety Outcomes After Installation
When the sign is positioned at the actual disposal point, people can identify the intended textile stream earlier and make a more informed choice before placing an item in a container.
✅ Mixed textiles and clothes collection points are easier to recognise on approach.
✅ Users can distinguish the textile stream more clearly from neighbouring recycling choices.
✅ The disposal decision is presented before items are placed into the designated container.

Installation Guidance
Avoid confusing placement
❌ Do not position the sign where an open bin lid or stored material can cover it.
❌ Do not place it midway between different recycling containers where ownership of the message becomes unclear.
❌ Do not mount it so low that people approaching the collection point cannot see it until disposal has begun.
❌ Do not position the sign where an open bin lid or stored material can cover it.
❌ Do not place it midway between different recycling containers where ownership of the message becomes unclear.
❌ Do not mount it so low that people approaching the collection point cannot see it until disposal has begun.
Know what the sign cannot decide
❌ Do not assume every type of clothing, footwear or textile is accepted by every recycling service.
❌ Do not use the sign as a substitute for additional instructions where your collection contractor imposes specific restrictions.
❌ Do not rely on the smallest size where people must identify the collection point from a substantially longer approach.

Make the recycling choice obvious
✅ Position the sign directly on or immediately beside the relevant textile container.
✅ Face the artwork towards the normal direction of approach and maintain an unobstructed sightline.
✅ Check the sign remains visible after containers are moved, lids are opened or surrounding recycling information is changed.

Frequently asked questions
What are Mixed Textiles And Clothes WRAP Recycling Signs used for? They identify the container or collection point intended for mixed textiles, clothes and other textile items accepted by your recycling scheme.
Which size should I choose? Choose the 210 x 148 mm size for close-range identification, the 297 x 210 mm size for typical shared recycling areas, or the 420 x 297 mm size where the collection point needs to be recognised from farther away.
Should the sign be fitted to the container or the wall? Either can work. The important point is to keep the sign visually associated with the correct container and visible before somebody disposes of an item.
Does the sign tell people exactly which textile items are accepted? No. It identifies the mixed textiles and clothes stream, but your recycling provider or local collection scheme should determine which particular items can be accepted.
Should I choose Rigid Plastic or Vinyl? Vinyl has a self-adhesive backing and suits suitable mounting surfaces, while Rigid Plastic gives you a separate sign format; fixing materials for the rigid option are sold separately.

Companion signs for clothing and textile collections
If you also operate a broader fabric stream, use general textiles recycling signs where the collection is not limited to clothing. This helps users choose between mixed clothes and general textile waste.
Where spectacles are collected for a separate route, add spectacles recycling signs at that dedicated point. This gives another clear option for small reusable or recyclable household items.
For nearby general waste, position household waste disposal point signs so unsuitable items have an obvious alternative. This can help keep clothing and textile collections focused on the intended material.
To compare further sorting messages, explore household recycling signs for clothing and other materials and choose the ones that reflect your actual collections. This supports a tidy, consistent recycling area without unnecessary duplication.
