Recycling Equipment Resources and Signs
Recycling bins can be ordered through the same company your school or business is contracted with for janitorial or office supplies. A small number of bins can be purchased through local stores such as Home Depot, Lowe’s, Office Max, or Staples.
Labels for Recycle Bins
- Make you own large sign to post above the recycling bin. Post a smaller sign on the bin.
- Print examples and photos from http://apps.co.marion.or.us/imagegallery/
- For proper bin signage, you can request signs from your recycling vendor: Kimble, Republic, Rumpke, Waste Management. Contact your sales rep for details.
- Purchase low cost signs for bins at www.recycleacrossamerica.org or at www.cleanriver.com
