West Sussex Food Waste Bin Signage
This set of food waste bin signage provides clear, immediate guidance to support correct recycling behaviour at the point of disposal. Designed for use directly on or next to bins, the signage uses simple language, bold visuals and quick rules to help pupils make the right decision in seconds.
The signage reinforces key messages such as “Food only” and “No packaging”, alongside clear examples of what can and cannot be placed in food waste bins. By focusing on quick recognition and ease of understanding, it helps reduce common issues such as contamination from packaging and incorrect waste separation.
Suitable for both primary and secondary settings, the signage can be used in dining areas, waste stations and classrooms as part of a wider whole-school approach. It works alongside posters and teaching resources to ensure consistent messaging and support real behaviour change where it matters most.
