Bin Contamination Hangers

Bin Contamination Hangers

Bin contamination hangers show residents exactly what belongs in each bin, helping reduce recycling contamination and avoid repeat collection problems.

Printed Bin Tags for Kerbside Collections

When a recycling bin can't be collected because of contamination, a printed hanger on the handle explains why. Residents get clear instructions on what needs to change, helping them sort their waste correctly before the next collection without having to contact the council.

Choose from 31 hanger styles, or send us your own shape and we'll produce a custom design to match. Print on one side for a simple notice, or use both sides to explain the issue on the front and provide a recycling guide on the back.

Print Colour

• Full colour (CMYK): Ideal for illustrated recycling guides, photographs and colour-coded waste instructions.
• Pantone: Accurate colour matching for council logos and corporate branding.
• CMYK + Pantone: Combine full-colour artwork with specific brand colours.
• Black only: A straightforward, cost-effective option for text-based notices.

Materials

• Silk gloss: A smooth, professional finish for printed notices and illustrations.
• Uncoated: Easy to write on, making it suitable for collection crews adding handwritten notes.
• Recycled: An alternative for organisations looking to incorporate recycled materials into their printed communications.
• Kraft: A natural brown stock with a distinctive, understated appearance.
• Double-sided box board: A thicker, more rigid option for hangers that need additional structure.

For hangers used outdoors, consider how long they need to remain on the bin and whether they'll be exposed to rain or frequent handling. Our team can advise on suitable materials and finishes for your intended use.

Lamination

• Matt, gloss or silk: Choose the appearance and finish that best suits your artwork.
• Soft touch matt: A smooth, premium-feel finish.
• Anti-scuff matt: Helps resist marks caused by handling and transportation.

Variable Data Printing

Add a unique reference number, property address or QR code to individual hangers using variable data printing. This allows councils and waste contractors to personalise notices and link them to specific properties or collection rounds, making contamination reporting and follow-up easier to manage.
