Overview

This information sign shows what goes in which bin, so recycling and general waste stay apart. Typical homes for it are site waste compounds, skips, recycling points and bin stores. Our scrap metal recycling sign printing is made to order in the size and board you choose.

The message

It reads "Scrap Metal Recycling". Blue and white is the information look: calm, plain and easy to take in on the move.

Where it goes

On, or just above, the bin, skip or bay it is about. Put the sign at the bin, not across the room, so people read it as they throw away.

Before you order scrap metal recycling sign printing, think about how far away people will be. Rule of thumb from ISO 3864-1: each 25 mm on the short side of the sign gives roughly a metre of reading distance. That makes A4 to about 8 m, A3 to about 12 m and A2 to about 17 m. Long corridors, yards and car parks need the bigger sizes.

Scrap metal recycling sign printing: which material

There is a board for each kind of spot in our scrap metal recycling sign printing range:

  • 3mm Foamex, a rigid PVC foam board that screws or sticks up easily and is happiest indoors or out for a season
  • 3mm Dibond, aluminium skins on a solid core, the one to pick for a sign that stays outside for years
  • self-adhesive vinyl, which sticks flat to smooth walls, doors, glass and machine guards

Inside, Foamex or vinyl does the job. Outside for the long haul, go Dibond.

In England, Simpler Recycling rules brought in during 2025 mean most workplaces now have to keep recycling apart from general waste, and clear bin signs are the cheapest way to make that work.

The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 require employers to use a safety sign where a risk cannot be removed or controlled some other way.

Upload your own file, lay it out in the online designer, or hand it to our paid artwork service, which includes 1 design and 2 rounds of changes. A person gives every file a free check first. Every scrap metal recycling sign printing order is made to order and dispatched from the UK. Postage is £7.95 to the UK mainland and free over £100, worked out after discounts and not counting artwork fees. Mainland Highlands postcodes add £10; Northern Ireland, the islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted. Full details are on the delivery page.

Which size do I need?

A safety sign must be large enough to read from where people will see it. Our conservative guide, based on the distance-factor method in ISO 3864-1, is about 1 metre of viewing distance for every 25 mm of sign height (the shorter side). Use it with your own risk assessment.

SizeReadable from up to about
A4 (210 × 297 mm)8 m
A3 (297 × 420 mm)12 m
A2 (420 × 594 mm)17 m

Well lit or internally lit signs can be read from further away; dim areas need larger signs.

Questions

Quick answers about scrap metal recycling sign printing.

How big should the Scrap Metal Recycling sign be?

Think about the furthest point someone needs to read it from. For "Scrap Metal Recycling", A4 (210 × 297 mm) for readers up to 8 m away, A3 (297 × 420 mm) for readers up to 12 m away and A2 (420 × 594 mm) for readers up to 17 m away. Those distances assume ordinary light, so if it is gloomy or people are driving past, step up one size.

Is there a standard pictogram that says "Scrap Metal Recycling"?

Not one that fits this wording, so the "Scrap Metal Recycling" sign is a text-only design in the standard blue and white information colours.

Where do I fix the Scrap Metal Recycling sign?

For "Scrap Metal Recycling", the usual spot is on the bin, skip or bay it labels, or straight above it. Fix it where it will not be hidden by doors, deliveries or vehicles.

Does the law say I must put up a Scrap Metal Recycling sign?

In England, the Simpler Recycling rules brought in during 2025 mean most workplaces must keep recyclable waste apart from general waste. Labelled bins are what make that work day to day. Your risk assessment is what decides the exact positions for "Scrap Metal Recycling".

How do I put the Scrap Metal Recycling sign up?

On smooth walls and doors, sign-fixing tape is quickest; otherwise drill the board and screw it to a wall or post. The vinyl version is self-adhesive: press it onto a clean, dry, smooth surface.

Foamex, Dibond or vinyl: which should I choose?

Ask where it is going. Outdoors or somewhere it may get knocked: Dibond aluminium composite. Smooth doors, glass or machinery: self-adhesive vinyl. Anywhere else indoors: 3mm Foamex, which is light and easy to fix.

How soon will the Scrap Metal Recycling sign reach me?

Standard takes 4 working days to make, or Express 2 working days. After that, allow 1 to 3 working days with the courier; you get tracking by email. Mainland UK delivery adds £7.95 to the basket, and nothing once the goods reach £100 after any discount code.

Could the Scrap Metal Recycling sign say something different, or carry our logo?

This one is printed exactly as shown, but a version with your own wording is possible. Tell us the text you want in place of "Scrap Metal Recycling", plus any logo or site details. Use the question box on this page, or the Get a quote page for a bigger job, and we will quote it.

Asked by buyers

How cheaply can I get hold of the Scrap Metal Recycling Sign?

Picked the way the page first loads, with A4 (210 × 297 mm) and self-adhesive vinyl, the Scrap Metal Recycling Sign comes to £5.02. Any other mix of options, a faster turnaround included, gets its own price the moment you choose it, and that figure is what you pay at checkout. Only delivery is left to add. On its own the opening price of £5.02 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.

Which turnaround speeds can I choose for the Scrap Metal Recycling Sign?

Allow 6 working days on Saver, 4 on Standard or 2 on Express before the Scrap Metal Recycling Sign is handed to the courier, based on the options the page opens with. Weekends and bank holidays are not counted, and nothing starts until the order is paid and the artwork is confirmed. Pick another size or material and the days beside each speed update, sometimes by a day. After it leaves us, the courier normally delivers in one to three working days and you get the tracking link by email.

Which artwork services are offered with the Scrap Metal Recycling Sign?

Several routes, all chosen under Artwork on this page. Send your own finished file (no charge), we set your words and logo on a tidy layout, called typesetting (£15), we design it from your brief (£35), we redraw a blurry or low quality logo as sharp vector art (£30) or we create a brand new logo (£50). Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes. The fee is the same whatever quantity you order and shows separately in the basket. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On this page, Scrap Metal Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

Which size of the Scrap Metal Recycling Sign can people read from further away?

Rough reading distances for "Scrap Metal Recycling": about 8 m for A4, 12 m for A3 or 17 m for A2. The rule of thumb behind them: each 25 mm of height buys roughly one metre of distance. If the light is poor, or people pass quickly on foot or at the wheel, go for the next size up. The figures use the distance factor from ISO 3864-1, and your own risk assessment should settle the final choice. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all.

Which sizes can the Scrap Metal Recycling Sign be printed in?

The table has 3 sizes. At the small end, A4 (210 × 297 mm) costs from £5.02; at the top, A2 (420 × 594 mm) costs from £9.33. Each figure is for the cheapest set of options at that size. Unsure? Measure where it will go and check the view from the spot people will stand. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On this page, Scrap Metal Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

What message is a Scrap Metal Recycling Sign giving?

This is a words-first design. No ISO 7010 symbol matches "Scrap Metal Recycling", so the text does the talking. The design follows the information sign pattern, used to give people directions or clear instructions. Typical spots: the bin store behind a shop or a block of flats. Word for word, this sign says "Scrap Metal Recycling".

Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?

No surprises: what the page shows for this sign is the goods figure you pay at checkout. Delivery is the one extra, £7.95 to a UK mainland address, and it drops away when the goods reach £100 after discounts. Paid artwork help shows up as its own basket line, so you can check each amount before paying. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all.

And the largest sign, A2 (420 × 594 mm): how much is that one?

Parents, clubs, churches and small shops order single items all the time. On its own the opening price of £5.02 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.

Can I mix different safety signs in a single order?

You can. Each sign gets a separate basket line, with whatever size and board suit it, and you pay once at the end. Delivery is charged per order, not per sign: £7.95 to the UK mainland, or free once the goods come to £100 or more. For "Scrap Metal Recycling" the sizes are A4, A3 and A2. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.

Our event is close. Can the Scrap Metal Recycling Sign be rushed?

Yes. Choose Express and the Scrap Metal Recycling Sign can be on the way in 2 working days on the opening option, for £6.68, where Saver is £5.02 and takes 6 days. Then give the courier one to three working days, and send the artwork with the order, because the clock does not run until the file is sorted. If the date is really tight, message us on the Contact page before paying and we will tell you honestly.

Can the wording on a Scrap Metal Recycling Sign be changed, or our logo added?

Yes. To reword "Scrap Metal Recycling" or add a logo, pick the typesetting option (£15) for your text and logo on a clean layout, or the design-from-your-brief option (£35), then send us the details. Both paid options include one first draft and two rounds of changes. Uploading your own print-ready file costs nothing, and someone on our team looks it over before printing. Leave the safety symbol and its colours untouched, though: altering them makes the meaning less clear. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?

Yes, a real person on our team opens every uploaded file and checks the size, the bleed and the resolution. If something is off, you hear from us before anything is made. We print what you send, though, so read the spelling, numbers and dates yourself as well. Making starts when the order and the file are both confirmed. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). For reference, Scrap Metal Recycling Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

How many pixels does a photo need to print well on this sign?

Close-up items need about 300 dpi at full size. So an A2 (420 × 594 mm) layout wants about 4,961 by 7,016 pixels. Keep lettering and logos as vectors if you can. An image copied off a web page or a social post rarely has enough pixels; if yours looks likely to print soft, our file check flags it. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On this page, Scrap Metal Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

Someone else is putting our file together. How does it reach you?

Easiest route: they send the finished file to whoever placed the order, and it gets uploaded after ordering. Up to 3 files of 25 MB each are fine. They can also reach us through the Contact page, as long as they quote your order number so it lands on the right job. Production waits for the checked file, so a late file means a later dispatch date. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On this page, Scrap Metal Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

What thickness is the Scrap Metal Recycling Sign, and does it feel sturdy?

Three millimetres, whichever board you go for. Pick self-adhesive vinyl instead and you get a thin film that lies flat against whatever you stick it to. Dibond feels stiff because a plastic core is sandwiched between two thin aluminium sheets, yet it is still simple to screw or stick up. Foamex is foamed PVC, so it weighs very little in the hand. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Material choices for Scrap Metal Recycling Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

Does the Scrap Metal Recycling Sign come in a peel-and-stick version?

It does. Pick self-adhesive vinyl from the material list and it comes as a peel-off sticker. That is handy on a glass shop door, a classroom cupboard, a machine or a smooth painted wall, anywhere screwing a board up would be awkward. Wipe the spot, let it dry, then press it down from the centre outwards to push the air away. On rough brick or dusty surfaces, a board will hold better. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. For reference, Scrap Metal Recycling Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

We are putting up a full set of signs at our premises. Which ones sit well next to this one?

A school corridor, a shop floor or a club house rarely needs just one notice. Two that often go up beside this one: Aerosols Recycling Sign and Aluminium Cans Recycling Sign. Keep every sign in one board type so the set matches, look up sizes and prices on each page, then check out once: one delivery charge for the whole basket, free over £100 of goods. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

Will a Scrap Metal Recycling Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?

Rain is rarely the problem for "Scrap Metal Recycling"; sunshine is. Every printed sign fades slowly in strong sun, so make a habit of checking outdoor ones and renew any that have faded too far. Dibond is the board to pick for a permanent outdoor home. Foamex copes with a covered spot but prefers life indoors. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

It gets dark early in winter. Can people still read the Scrap Metal Recycling Sign in the evening?

Not in pitch darkness. Pick Foamex, Dibond or vinyl sticker and it is the same story: nothing on this page reflects headlights or glows by itself. Fix it where a street light, porch light or security lamp already shines, or fit a small light above it. Where a risk assessment asks for photoluminescent or reflective signs, those need to come from a specialist maker rather than from us. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On its opening option, Scrap Metal Recycling Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.

What is the easiest way to put up a Scrap Metal Recycling Sign?

To mount "Scrap Metal Recycling" on a wall, drill a hole near each corner of the board and screw it on with a washer under each head; stop once it feels snug, as Foamex in particular does not like being overtightened. Where drilling is not wanted, say on a painted door or a smooth wall inside, double-sided foam tape or sticky pads hold it well. For a fence, make a hole at each corner and loop cable ties through. The vinyl one needs no tools: peel off the backing and press it on once the surface has been wiped and dried. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

Does the material change the price of the Scrap Metal Recycling Sign?

Taking the smallest size, A4 (210 × 297 mm), as the example: self-adhesive vinyl at £5.02, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £40.79 and 3mm Foamex at £27.79. Larger sizes follow a similar pattern, and the full grid sits in the size table further up the page. Think about where it is going first: a cheap material in the wrong spot can end up costing more. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. On this page, Scrap Metal Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

I am ordering this sign for a school or charity. Do I need to open an account?

No account is needed. Guest checkout lets a parent, volunteer or club secretary order once and pay by debit or credit card through Stripe. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout, and the confirmation email you receive lists the items and the amount paid for your records. If the committee needs a price agreed before anyone pays, the Get a quote page is the better starting point. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Material choices for Scrap Metal Recycling Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

Can I pay for the Scrap Metal Recycling Sign by card as a guest?

Yes. Guest checkout is fine, and any debit or credit card works. Stripe processes the payment for us, which keeps your card number off our system entirely. We begin making this sign once the payment has cleared and the artwork is confirmed. Large or out of the ordinary jobs can be quoted first from the Get a quote page. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On this page, Scrap Metal Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

Do I have to register before I can buy?

There is no need to sign up. Pay as a guest with a bank card, handled securely by Stripe, and you still get an order confirmation email and a tracking email on dispatch. An account is optional; it just keeps your order history in one place. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On this page, Scrap Metal Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

Our treasurer needs a receipt for the accounts. What do we get?

Keep the order confirmation email we send: it itemises the purchase and the payment, and works as a plain receipt for your records. The total at checkout for this sign is the goods price on the page plus delivery, so the email matches what left the account. Need something more formal for an audit or a grant claim? Message us from the Contact page with your order number. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On this page, Scrap Metal Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

How do I work out how many Scrap Metal Recycling signs to order?

Picture someone arriving for the first time. Every door they could come through, every approach to the risk and every corner where the route bends is a place for a sign. Large sites and long corridors usually need repeats, with bigger versions where people read from a distance. Put matching signs on a single basket line and raise the quantity; different sizes or materials go on lines of their own. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On its opening option, Scrap Metal Recycling Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.

I have spotted a typo after paying. Can it be fixed?

Tell us quickly through the Contact page, quoting your order number. Before production starts we can take a corrected file, or cancel and refund the whole order. After that it cannot be changed. A print that matches your finished design or the file you sent is not a fault, so it pays to read every word and number before you order. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Material choices for Scrap Metal Recycling Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

Do I pay delivery on each item in my basket?

No. One delivery charge covers the whole basket, so adding the Scrap Metal Recycling Sign to other items does not add a second one. It is £7.95 to a UK mainland address and nothing once the goods total £100 after any discount code. Using the same design on two items? Pick the reuse-artwork option on the second one and you pay the artwork fee just once. Each line keeps its own size and quantity.

Who looks after me once I have bought the Scrap Metal Recycling Sign?

FatPrint does, from start to finish. We take your order and payment, a person on our team checks your file, and the Scrap Metal Recycling Sign is made to order for you rather than taken off a shelf. It then goes to you by courier, with tracking sent by email. Questions before or after ordering go through the box on this page or the Contact page, and a person replies.

Can I send this sign back if I no longer need it?

If it arrives faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, yes: under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 we reprint or refund. A change of mind is different. Each order is made to your specification, and reg. 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 takes those goods out of the 14-day right to cancel. Before production starts, though, you can cancel for all your money back. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On this page, Scrap Metal Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

The parcel turned up damaged. How do I sort it out?

Take photos of the damage and the box it came in, then send them through the contact form within 48 hours of delivery, with your order number. Hold on to the item rather than posting it back; we reply and arrange a reprint or refund. This sits alongside your legal rights, which the returns page covers. Choose Saver and this sign leaves us after 6 working days; Express brings that down to 2. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. On this page, Scrap Metal Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

Some of our visitors have poor eyesight. Will this sign be easy for them to read?

Three things help most: strong contrast between the words and the background, a plain bold font, and a size that matches how far away people will be. Our standard safety sign layouts use the high-contrast colour pairings laid down for safety signs. Mount the sign at eye height, where it is well lit and not catching glare, and keep the message short. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). For reference, Scrap Metal Recycling Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Can the Scrap Metal Recycling Sign carry wording in two languages, for example English and Welsh?

Yes. Choose the typesetting option (£15) and send us the words in every language you want on it. That covers one first draft and two rounds of changes. We lay out the text exactly as you supply it but we do not translate, so have the translation done first. Leave the symbol and colours as they are, so the meaning is clear whichever language someone reads. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). Material choices for Scrap Metal Recycling Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

Does a Scrap Metal Recycling Sign come upright or wide?

"Scrap Metal Recycling" is laid out in portrait format, available as A4, A3 and A2. Upright layouts fit doors, posts and narrow bits of wall. Need it turned the other way? Choose one of the design options and we will rearrange it for you. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all.

What if A2 (420 × 594 mm) is still too small for the Scrap Metal Recycling Sign?

We can still help. Put the size you need, the material and the quantity into the quote request form and we will send a price. For reference, the listed range ends at A2 (420 × 594 mm), and that size costs £9.33 or more. Bear in mind that anything past A0 goes by oversize courier, a one-off £15 on the order. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A2 (420 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On this page, Scrap Metal Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

The spot gets full sun all afternoon. Could this sign warp in the heat?

Foamex can, Dibond will not. A big, thin Foamex board warms up in direct sun and may bow, especially with fixings only at the corners. Dibond has aluminium faces and keeps its shape, so it is the sensible pick for a long-term outdoor sign. With Foamex, more fixings across a flat wall, or a thicker board, helps it stay straight. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. On this page, Scrap Metal Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

Could the Scrap Metal Recycling Sign go on a door, say an office or classroom door?

Start with the position: eye level, on the push side or on the wall next to the frame, so the message is still visible with the door open. For the door itself, choose self-adhesive vinyl, which suits painted doors and glass panels. A 3mm Foamex board on foam tape also sits well on a flat door. On a fire door, get the go-ahead from whoever looks after the building before any screws go in. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On this page, Scrap Metal Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.

Can I cut this sign down to size, or drill fixing holes, at home?

Yes, with ordinary tools. For Foamex or Correx, a sharp craft knife and a straight metal edge work: a few light passes, then snap or cut through. Dibond has aluminium skins and needs a fine-toothed saw. Drill slowly with a standard bit and stay at least 10 mm from any edge. Any cutting removes some of the bleed, so plan the layout with that in mind. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. On this page, Scrap Metal Recycling Sign starts from £5.02.
