Overview
Our lightweight active waste sign printing starts with one job: the sign shows what goes in which bin, so recycling and general waste stay apart. It earns its place in site waste compounds, skips, recycling points and bin stores.
Reading the sign
It reads "Lightweight Active Waste". 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. Fix a sign on or right above each skip or bay so it is read at the moment the waste goes in.
The right size for lightweight active waste sign printing depends on the reading distance. 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 A3 to about 12 m, A2 to about 17 m and A1 to about 24 m. Anything read from a distance or a moving vehicle wants the larger sizes.
Boards for lightweight active waste sign printing
For lightweight active waste sign printing, pick the board to suit the spot:
- 3.5mm Correx, the fluted plastic board: light, waterproof and cheap to replace, which is why it is the site-sign favourite
- 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
Short job, Correx. Indoors, Foamex. Long job outdoors, Dibond.
Mixed skips cost more to empty than separated ones, so clear signs pay for themselves quickly.
Your duty of care for waste comes from the Environmental Protection Act 1990, and keeping skips separated also keeps landfill charges down.

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.
| Size | Readable from up to about |
|---|---|
| A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) | 12 m |
| A2 landscape (594 × 420 mm) | 17 m |
| A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm) | 24 m |
Well lit or internally lit signs can be read from further away; dim areas need larger signs.
Questions
Quick answers about lightweight active waste sign printing.
What size do I need so people can read "Lightweight Active Waste"?
Go by reading distance rather than wall space. In normal light, A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) covers 12 m, A2 landscape (594 × 420 mm) covers 17 m and A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm) covers 24 m. Choose one size up if people pass quickly or the area is poorly lit.
Is there a standard pictogram that says "Lightweight Active Waste"?
Not one that fits this wording, so the "Lightweight Active Waste" sign is a text-only design in the standard blue and white information colours.
Where should the "Lightweight Active Waste" message go so people act on it?
The right place is on the bin, skip or bay it labels, or straight above it. Check nothing will stand in front of it, like open doors, stacked stock or parked vans.
Is there a legal rule behind the Lightweight Active Waste sign?
Keeping waste streams apart cuts landfill costs and helps you meet your duty of care for waste under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Clear skip signs keep each stream clean. For the "Lightweight Active Waste" sign, your risk assessment is what decides the exact positions.
How do I put the Lightweight Active Waste 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.
Dibond, Correx or Foamex: which is right?
For a temporary job, Correx is the lowest cost and still light and waterproof. For a sign that stays outdoors long term, Dibond aluminium composite is the one. Keep Foamex for sheltered places.
Asked by buyers
How cheaply can I get hold of the Lightweight Active Waste Sign?
Picked the way the page first loads, with A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) and 3.5mm Correx, the Lightweight Active Waste Sign comes to £27.52. 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 £27.52 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.
Which turnaround speeds can I choose for the Lightweight Active Waste Sign?
Allow 5 working days on Saver, 3 on Standard or 2 on Express before the Lightweight Active Waste 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 Lightweight Active Waste 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. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On this page, Lightweight Active Waste Sign starts from £27.52.
Which size of the Lightweight Active Waste Sign can people read from further away?
Rough reading distances for "Lightweight Active Waste": about 12 m for A3 landscape, 17 m for A2 landscape or 24 m for A1 landscape. 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 A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all.
Where is the best spot for a Lightweight Active Waste Sign?
Picture someone arriving at a building job, a house clearance or a community clean-up who needs to see "Lightweight Active Waste". Fix it on or over every skip and waste point. Give it decent light and a clear line of sight, with nothing parked, stacked or swinging open in front of it. Keep a short list of where each sign went: it slots into your risk assessment records and makes the odd walk-round check quick. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
What message is a Lightweight Active Waste Sign giving?
This is a words-first design. No ISO 7010 symbol matches "Lightweight Active Waste", so the text does the talking. The design follows the information sign pattern, used to give people directions or clear instructions. Typical spots: a building job, a house clearance or a community clean-up. Word for word, this sign says "Lightweight Active Waste".
How much for the biggest size, A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm)?
From £54.24, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3.5mm Correx at £54.24, 3mm Foamex at £63.13 and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £88.40. Add £7.95 for UK mainland delivery, or nothing at all once the goods reach £100. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Material choices for Lightweight Active Waste Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 3mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.
I am not a business. Can I buy just one sign?
Of course. Anyone can order, with no trade account and no minimum beyond one. Prices for the Lightweight Active Waste Sign begin at £27.52, checkout works without an account and you pay by card. Parents, clubs, churches and small shops order single items all the time. On its own the opening price of £27.52 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 "Lightweight Active Waste" the sizes are A3 landscape, A2 landscape and A1 landscape. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.
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 A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On its opening option, Lightweight Active Waste Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.
I need several signs, some in different sizes. How do I buy them?
Each price on the page is for a single sign in the size and material chosen. Put the number you want in the box beside Add to basket and the total multiplies. For a different size or material, add it as a separate line; the basket keeps them apart. An artwork fee is charged once per line, whatever the quantity, and choosing to reuse the artwork from another item in your basket costs nothing more. Very large runs can go through Get a quote. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. For reference, Lightweight Active Waste Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
How much does an A2 landscape (594 × 420 mm) sign cost?
From £36.41, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3.5mm Correx at £36.41, 3mm Foamex at £42.91 and 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £61.17. Add £7.95 for UK mainland delivery, or nothing at all once the goods reach £100. Select it on the page and swap materials, finishes and speed to watch how the figure moves. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52. For reference, Lightweight Active Waste Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
Our event is close. Can the Lightweight Active Waste Sign be rushed?
Yes. Choose Express and the Lightweight Active Waste Sign can be on the way in 2 working days on the opening option, for £36.71, where Saver is £27.52 and takes 5 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 I send a Word or Canva file for the Lightweight Active Waste Sign?
Word, PowerPoint and Canva are a fair place to start, but export a high quality PDF from them before uploading. Our first choice is always a PDF at the ordered size with fonts embedded or outlined, followed by AI, EPS or SVG, then high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF. You can add three files, each up to 25 MB, on this page, or upload them after ordering from the email we send. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On this page, Lightweight Active Waste Sign starts from £27.52.
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. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm). For reference, Lightweight Active Waste Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
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. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm). Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On this page, Lightweight Active Waste Sign starts from £27.52.
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 A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm) layout wants about 9,933 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 A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On this page, Lightweight Active Waste Sign starts from £27.52.
Can the wording on a Lightweight Active Waste Sign be changed, or our logo added?
Yes. To reword "Lightweight Active Waste" 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 A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
What thickness is the Lightweight Active Waste Sign, and does it feel sturdy?
That depends on the board you tick: Correx at 3.5 mm, Foamex at 3 mm and Dibond at 3 mm. 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 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Material choices for Lightweight Active Waste Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 3mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.
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: Wet Waste Only Sign and Rubbish to Be Left In Not On Skips 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 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
It gets dark early in winter. Can people still read the Lightweight Active Waste Sign in the evening?
Not in pitch darkness. Pick Correx, Foamex or Dibond 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 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52. On its opening option, Lightweight Active Waste Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.
Will a Lightweight Active Waste Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?
Rain is rarely the problem for "Lightweight Active Waste"; 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. Correx is waterproof and suits temporary outdoor use. Foamex copes with a covered spot but prefers life indoors. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
What is the easiest way to put up a Lightweight Active Waste Sign?
To mount "Lightweight Active Waste" 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. The Correx version is simplest cable tied to a fence or fixed to a post. For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx.
Does the material change the price of the Lightweight Active Waste Sign?
Taking the smallest size, A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm), as the example: 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £47.58, 3mm Foamex at £32.83 and 3.5mm Correx at £27.52. 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 £27.52. On this page, Lightweight Active Waste Sign starts from £27.52.
Our club needs a big batch of signs, or an odd size. Can you price it?
Yes. Fill in our Get a quote page, giving the size, how many, the material, when you need it and the delivery postcode, and attach your artwork if it is ready. A price comes back to you by email. Get a quote is also how delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands gets priced. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52. For reference, Lightweight Active Waste Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
Next year we will want the same sign again. Is reordering easy?
Very. Choose the same product with the same options and upload the same file, and it is made again exactly as before. Save the final print file somewhere safe, as that makes a repeat order a two-minute job. Before you repeat it, read the wording again: dates, prices, opening times and contact details are the things that go out of date. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52. Material choices for Lightweight Active Waste Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 3mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.
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. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On this page, Lightweight Active Waste Sign starts from £27.52.
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. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all.
I am not sure which options to pick for this sign. Can someone advise me?
Yes. Type your question into the box on this page and a real person replies. Mention where the sign will be used, how long you need it to last and the date you need it by. Answered questions may be shown on the page for other buyers, so leave personal details out of it. Private questions can go through the Contact page, and anything the options here cannot price can go through the Get a quote page. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52. Material choices for Lightweight Active Waste Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 3mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.
Who looks after me once I have bought the Lightweight Active Waste Sign?
FatPrint does, from start to finish. We take your order and payment, a person on our team checks your file, and the Lightweight Active Waste 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.
Do I pay delivery on each item in my basket?
No. One delivery charge covers the whole basket, so adding the Lightweight Active Waste 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.
We need a few different designs. Do they each need their own order?
No. Each design goes into the basket as a separate line with its own file or online design, and you pay for them all in one checkout. Delivery is counted once for the whole order and costs nothing when the goods reach £100. If two lines share the same artwork, pick the artwork option that reuses a file already in your basket, so any design fee is only paid once. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52. For reference, Lightweight Active Waste Sign is listed in 3 sizes, the smallest being A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
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 5 working days; Express brings that down to 2. Before delivery, this sign costs from £27.52. On this page, Lightweight Active Waste Sign starts from £27.52.
Should I send my file as RGB or CMYK?
CMYK if you can. An RGB file gets converted to CMYK for printing, and vivid greens, blues and oranges may lose a little brightness on the way. Have a Pantone number for your brand colour? Tell us and we match it as near as the material lets us. Expect a small shift between screen and print either way: a screen shines light at you, while a printed item reflects it. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm). For this sign, the material can be 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Material choices for Lightweight Active Waste Sign: 3.5mm Correx, 3mm Foamex or 3mm Dibond aluminium composite.
Bleed and dpi mean nothing to me. Can I still get printing done?
Yes. You do not need any print knowledge to order the Lightweight Active Waste Sign. Send us your words and logo with the typesetting option (£15) and we build the layout, then you get a first draft and two rounds of changes. Whatever you choose, a real person looks at the file before printing.
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. Sizes for this sign go from A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm).
Does a Lightweight Active Waste Sign come upright or wide?
"Lightweight Active Waste" is laid out in landscape format, available as A3 landscape, A2 landscape and A1 landscape. Wide layouts sit well on fences, over doorways and along corridors. 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 A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all.
What if A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm) is still too small for the Lightweight Active Waste 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 A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), and that size costs £54.24 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 A3 landscape (420 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 landscape (841 × 594 mm), 3 in all. On this page, Lightweight Active Waste Sign starts from £27.52.
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 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.

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 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, 3mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On this page, Lightweight Active Waste Sign starts from £27.52.
