Hazardous Waste Signs
Hazardous waste storage area signs go on the gate of a bin enclosure, on the wall at a drum staging spot and on the door of a waste room. Auto repair shops, labs, dry cleaners and facility managers use them to show staff and pickup crews where waste containers are kept.

Where hazardous waste signs are used
Print shops, photo labs and dental offices post this sign where used toner, spent solvents and old batteries wait for pickup. A pickup driver or a new custodian may look for the drop spot, so a sign on the outside of a locked cabinet or a corner of a yard fence tells them where to go. It also suits a rolling cart that holds sealed containers in a storage room. The sign marks the area as one with waste that is handled differently from trash.
Choosing the size and where to hang it
Fix it at about eye level on the outside of the enclosure, cabinet or door, where a person walking up sees it first. The 36 in x 24 in size works on a wide enclosure gate, and the 18 in x 12 in size suits a cabinet or a waste room door. Aluminum is the choice for a yard or outdoor pad, since it is rust-free and its holes take bolts to a post. Plastic is light and fits an indoor storage room with brass grommets and zip ties.
Questions about hazardous waste signs
Where should a hazardous waste sign be mounted?
Put one on the door or gate of the waste room or enclosure, and on a wall or post at each drum staging spot. Mount it where staff and pickup drivers see it before they enter. Labeling rules vary, so check with your environmental or safety officer for the exact labels you need.
Caution or Danger: which header fits?
The red Danger header is for hazards that will cause death or serious injury, and the yellow Caution header is for hazards that could cause minor or moderate injury. Pick the one that fits your waste and confirm it with your environmental or safety officer.
Can I add a site name or contact number?
Yes. Use the optional line in the builder for a site name, a building number or a 24-hour contact number. Read the finished sign in the preview as you type, so spelling and spacing are right before you order.
How long can the waste stay in the area?
A sign cannot say how long. Check your state and local rules for storage time limits, container labels and pickup schedules before you set up the area. The sign only tells people where the storage spot is and that the waste needs care.
Does this sign work outdoors on a fence?
Yes. Aluminum with holes is the outdoor choice, since it is rust-free and holds a bolt or screw well. Plastic is light and fits a storage room inside a building. For a fence, pick the 36 in x 24 in size so the words read from the gate.
