A red portrait recycling sign that identifies collection points for plastic bottles using a bottle symbol, “plastic bottles” wording and the Recycle Now logo. Choose the size and material that best suit the position and normal approach route.
Plastic Bottles WRAP Recycling Signs identify collection points intended for plastic bottles. Position them on or directly above the correct recycling container so staff, visitors and other users can recognise the waste stream before disposing of bottles.
Where to Install
Position the sign on the dedicated plastic-bottle container, on the wall immediately above it, or at the recycling point where people choose between different waste streams. Keep it in the same sightline as the container opening so users can identify the correct destination before they dispose of a bottle.
Viewing Distance
Choose the size according to how far away people normally need to recognise the recycling point. The distances below are practical positioning guidance rather than certified visibility limits; lighting, approach angle, obstruction and surrounding visual information will all affect readability.
| Selected size | Best suited to | Practical approach distance |
|---|---|---|
| H 210 x W 148 mm | Close-range container or bin identification | Up to approx. 4 m / 13 ft |
| H 297 x W 210 mm | Shared recycling points and short approaches | Approx. 4–6 m / 13–20 ft |
| H 420 x W 297 mm | Larger recycling areas or longer approaches | Approx. 6–9 m / 20–30 ft |
Expected Safety Outcomes After Installation
Correct positioning gives people a clearer decision before they reach the container, helping the intended plastic-bottle waste stream stand out from neighbouring disposal choices.
✅ Quicker recognition of the container intended for plastic bottles
✅ Less uncertainty where several recycling and waste containers are grouped together
✅ Clearer disposal behaviour at the point where users choose the correct waste stream

Installation Guidance
Avoid confusing placement
❌ Do not position the sign away from the container it identifies
❌ Do not hide it behind lids, equipment or stored waste
❌ Do not select the smallest size where users approach from significantly further away
❌ Do not place it where nearby information makes the recycling message difficult to distinguish
❌ Do not position the sign away from the container it identifies
❌ Do not hide it behind lids, equipment or stored waste
❌ Do not select the smallest size where users approach from significantly further away
❌ Do not place it where nearby information makes the recycling message difficult to distinguish
Understand its limitations
❌ Do not use the plastic-bottle message to identify every type of plastic waste
❌ Do not rely on the sign to explain site-specific recycling exclusions
❌ Do not expect the non-reflective, non-photoluminescent design to remain readable without adequate light
❌ Do not treat signage as a substitute for correctly arranged and identified recycling containers
❌ Do not use the plastic-bottle message to identify every type of plastic waste
❌ Do not rely on the sign to explain site-specific recycling exclusions
❌ Do not expect the non-reflective, non-photoluminescent design to remain readable without adequate light
❌ Do not treat signage as a substitute for correctly arranged and identified recycling containers
Make the bottle collection point obvious
✅ Position the sign on or immediately above the matching container
✅ Keep the message visible before the user reaches the disposal opening
✅ Select the size according to the normal approach distance and available mounting space
✅ Keep the sign clean, illuminated and free from obstruction so the bottle symbol and wording remain easy to recognise
✅ Position the sign on or immediately above the matching container
✅ Keep the message visible before the user reaches the disposal opening
✅ Select the size according to the normal approach distance and available mounting space

Frequently asked questions
Where should Plastic Bottles WRAP Recycling Signs be positioned? Place the sign directly on the correct recycling container or immediately above it, where users can see the message before reaching the disposal opening.
Is this sign intended for every type of plastic waste? No. The message specifically identifies plastic bottles, so you should use different recycling information where other plastic waste streams are collected separately.
Which sign size should I choose? Choose the smallest size for close-range container identification, the middle size for typical shared recycling points, and the largest size where the sign must be recognised from further along the approach.
Should I choose Vinyl or Rigid Plastic? Vinyl has a self-adhesive backing and suits a suitable surface where it can make secure contact. Choose Rigid Plastic where you require a separate mounted sign; fixing materials are sold separately.
Can the sign be displayed outdoors? Yes. Indoor and outdoor display is confirmed, but the mounting position and fixing arrangement should still be suitable for the chosen location.
Will the sign glow or reflect in poor lighting? No. It is non-photoluminescent and non-reflective, so position it where normal ambient or artificial lighting keeps the message clearly visible.
Does the sign tell users exactly which plastic bottles your collection service accepts? No. It identifies the plastic-bottle recycling stream but does not replace any site-specific instructions from your waste contractor or recycling scheme.

Useful signs for nearby plastic and household recycling
If your collection accepts more than bottles, consider general plastic waste recycling signs for the wider plastics stream. They are useful where several plastic formats are handled together.
For adjacent drinks-carton collections, use carton recycling signs to make the separate waste route easier to recognise. This helps users choose between plastic bottles and cartons at shared recycling points.
Where a general household stream sits nearby, add household waste recycling signs to make the alternative disposal route obvious. Clear neighbouring messages can reduce cross-contamination between containers.
For more options across the same recycling area, explore household recycling signs for multiple waste streams and compare the closest match to each container. This helps you build a consistent set without overloading any single collection point.
