Request touch-based bin symbols

We can give you free bin symbols to help you identify recycling, rubbish and food and garden organics bins by touch rather than sight.

The small, moulded shapes are made from recycled plastic, supporting our commitment to a circular economy.

Shapes

◼

Square is for red-lid rubbish bin.

▲

Triangle is for yellow-lid recycling bin.

⬤

Circle is for green-lid food and organics bin.

You can request a set of the 3 symbols with instructions sheet by calling 9490 4222 or at rethinkwaste@banyule.vic.gov.au

We can post them to you or you can collect them from:

To attach the symbols, you will need superglue (which can purchased at any supermarket or hardware store).

Line up your bins and clean the area on each just below This side to road text.
Be sure bin lids are dry.
Use a small amount of superglue on each shape to attach to the correct bin.
Let glue dry for 10 minutes.

You can also request help from a Council officer when you receive your touch-based symbols.
