subject: 5 Official Recycling Signs [print this page] Recycling plays an important role in the conservation of our natural resources the more we recycle, the less we need to use our natural resources. Recycling signs are a means of encouraging people to collect materials for recycling. Here are five signs made by the Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP) for this purpose:
Soil Recycling Signs
Soil recycle signage can be put on site to inform all the workers as well as visitors to recycle the soil instead of wasting it. The sign may be of an appropriate color such as brown and contain the image of a shovel in soil as well as the recycling sign and the word soil, so that people can clearly understand the purpose of the sign.
Building Materials Recycling Signs
If the site is a construction site then putting up building materials recycle signage can be used to inform all about recycling the materials. The encouragement can be given with the help of a sign showing building materials, such as bricks and concrete, along with the text Building Materials and, of course, the recycling sign.
Plastic Bottles Recycling Signs
This sign may be useful in every setting where plastic bottles are used. Again the visuals can help in encouraging people to recycle. The bottle image and the recycling sign put the message across to all that instead of throwing away the plastic bottles in trash they should use recycling bins.
Electrical Recycling Signs
Similar to bottles and soil, its important that electrical equipment is recycled. If a switch or iron or any other electrical equipment becomes unusable, you should throw it in the bin made for electrical equipment instead of throwing it with kitchen waste or paper waste. Electrical recycle signage can be displayed anywhere where electrical equipment is used, particularly where it is used on a larger scale. The message on the sign along with electrical equipment, such as a switch, informs people to recycle.
Plastic Bags Recycling Signs
It is very important to encourage people to dispose plastic bags properly. These bags are used on a massive scale and throwing them in the proper trash cans can help to keep the environment cleaner. Signage encouraging people to recycle plastic bags can help in creating awareness. People who are regularly exposed to such signage may have a higher tendency of recycling plastic bags instead of disposing them inappropriately.
