Description or Purpose | Complement your waste bins with effective communication signs designed by industry experts, which minimise training requirements and ensure your program is a success. Designed by our local industry experts, all Educational options are created in the Australian Standard Waste Colours, integrating environmental images with text and graphical information about each specific waste stream. We have a range of options available to suit your space requirements, preferences and waste stream requirements. Alternatively, partner with our talented graphic designer who shares your passion for the environment and can work with you to customise a solution to complement your unique sustainability goals and branding. |
Operating Principles | There are a range of formats and sizes to choose from. The classic Wall Posters are an eye catching and cost effective option. These full colour graphics are printed on 150gsm art paper with a gloss coating for durability. They simply attach to the wall behind your recycling station with blue tack. The durable MultiSort Polycarb Signs are designed to be fixed to our popular MultiSort units, providing additional educational information about the correct items for each stream. Looking to design your own, the MultiSort Sign Holder is designed for our 60 Litre unit, and holds in place printed office paper between the transparent sides. The Arch Stickers were initially designed to use with our Pedal Bin range, however they have also been used extensively on a range of products by customers seeking to provide consistent messaging across a diverse range of bins. They are available in the full range of standard waste options in both the standard size or large strip option. Be bold and choose our Large Signs! Perfect for MGBs and larger surfaces, these Vinyl Stickers are available in a Nature or School design range across a number of streams. |
Additional Information | The unit can be customised to meet your needs. Simply call one of our Waste Diversion Experts to learn more on 0249 537 644. |

Approvals Related to Use of Output
Important Note on Composting in NSW
In NSW, applying waste to land – including a processed waste such as compost - or using it as a fuel may trigger various regulatory requirements. Depending on the proposed use you may be required to comply with a Resource Recovery Exemption or need to hold an environment protection licence, and pay the waste levy.
While there is a Compost Exemption (2014) it is important to note that drying or dehydrating food waste, or any other compostable waste, is specifically excluded from consideration under this exemption. Drying or dehydrating equipment uses externally supplied energy to heat and ventilate food waste or any other compostable waste in order to rapidly dry the waste material over a short time period (typically 24 to 48 hours), either with or without the addition of an inoculum. If you are interested in this type of equipment you should refer to the resource recovery exemptions for information on lawful use of outputs.
If it is intended to use the material as a fuel, it must comply with the NSW Energy from Waste Policy Statement. http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/waste/140056enfromwasteps.htm
