Sorting Signs
These signs can be used for your office, rental property, Airbnb or event. Post them above your waste bins at eye level. Clustering signed waste bins together makes waste sorting convenient. Printed copies of bilingual signs can be ordered free of charge from Divert NS.
South Shore Waste Solutions’ Outreach & Communication staff can help you develop signs which display specific wastes generated by your business or make recommendations about where to set up sorting bins. Email info@southshorewaste.ca or call (902) 543-2913 to set up a free appointment.
Where to Place Signs
Bins for paper towel must be provided with garbage bins in bathrooms so both wastes can be sorted properly. Paper towel is collected with organic wastes and cannot contain plastic, metal or glass.
Outfit your office with bins for recyclables, paper and garbage in the main work area. Put a mini bin or a pail with a lid in your lunch room for food waste.
Place paper bins beside photocopiers. Shred confidential paper and put it in a clear bag for pick up.
