Waste Sorting Sign Kit – Deluxe

$10.00

As discussed in Chapter 5 of Everyday Permaculture – the Waste chapter – one of the best ways to get people managing waste effectively is to have simple systems in place to sort it easily. The less ‘extra work’ or thinking we have to do to succeed, the more likely it is we’ll use the system properly. Pictures and icons are great for this, as they allow us to check what goes where without investing too much personal energy.

If you’ve been separating your waste for a while but maybe want to up your game, this deluxe set of signs, beautifully illustrated by art activist extraordinaire Brenna Quinlan, should help you create a waste system that diverts most everyday items from landfill. It includes:

  • Compost
  • Bokashi/FOGO (Food Organics, Garden Organics)
  • Worms
  • Chooks
  • Recycling
  • Glass
  • Paper & Cardboard
  • Metal
  • Different Plastics
  • e-Waste
  • Batteries
  • Textiles
  • Cosmetic packaging
  • Globes
  • Blister packs
  • Pens & Markers
  • Sin Bin (landfill)

This limit has been put in place to prevent redistribution of the kit: much time, effort and money went into creating this resource, and as part of the Fair Share and People Care ethics, we’ve calculated a reasonable price that should cover these costs over a period of a couple of years. Please respect this and refrain from sharing the digital file with others. We have our Free Basic kit available for unlimited downloads, should you need a stopgap solution.
