Advice on buying recycling signs

Before buying recycling signs draw up a recycling plan. Visit your local recycling centre and see what you can recycle. Once you know the materials you can recycle then purchase the relevant recycling signs and bins. Another consideration is where the recycling sign will be located, will the sign be located indoors or outdoors. Depending on where the sign is located will determine the type of material the sign needs to be made from.
