Compost Refuse Bin Sign

The earth is in a climate crisis. We should all do our part to REDUCE, REUSE, and RETHINK. As for recycling, all too often our efforts in the last pillar of being an environmentally conscious consumer fall short due to a lack of education of what can and cannot be recycled. To add to the confusion, recycling differs by not only country and state, but even cities.

I created a series of signs for refuse bins in my office to help coworkers separate refuse for compost, generic recycling, landfill, and specialized recycling.

Feel free to print out the attached PDF (0.25" bleed included) and use in your own spaces! For reference, these are signs specific to San Francisco, California USA's recycling processes.
