Official Recycle Labels
Source: Recycle Across America

Recycle Across America (RAA) offers standardized labels for your recycling tools. These labels make it very clear (visually and in the text) which waste stream belongs to which container so people can recycle properly.

This minimizes confusion in the bin and ensures that waste materials end up in the correct waste stream. The labels are proven to increase recycling by 50-100%. The result is less trash and more recycling, so step up on the waste hierarchy.

More about recycling stickers

Why should you label your trash cans?

When you separate your trash, recycling, and compost at home, you want to make sure each stream is clean and organized. We recommend using recycling stickers to label your recycling bins to prevent contamination of your recyclables or compost.

These decals are made of vinyl and contain clear logos or colors that indicate what type of waste belongs to each receptacle. For instance, a recycling logo for recyclables, a compost symbol for organic waste, and an icon for regular trash for landfill or incineration. A recycle label makes it visually clear what type of waste goes into what receptacle.

Convert your regular garbage can into a recycle container with a recycle sticker.

Stickers or magnets

You can opt for stickers to stick on plastic trash cans or magnets you can use for stainless steel or metal trash cans. You can use these recycling stickers for single-purpose trash cans and double recycling bins where you label each comportment for trash or recycling. There is always a recycle label that suits your trash and recycling bins.
