No Dumping Signs
Landlords, property managers and farm owners post no dumping signs on vacant lots, back fences and field gates where trash keeps turning up. Many towns have their own dumping laws, so check your local rules before you add penalty wording.

Where no dumping signs are used
Owners of a vacant lot in town post one on a chain-link fence where mattresses and bags keep appearing after dark. Farm families put one on a pasture gate beside a road turnout where people pull off to empty a truck bed. Church groundskeepers hang one on a shed wall behind the building, and apartment managers add one to the corral that holds the dumpsters. It makes clear to a passerby that the spot belongs to someone.
Choosing the size and where to hang it
On a fence or gate, the 24 by 18 inch size catches the eye of someone pulling off the road. The 12 by 12 inch size suits a shed wall or a small lot post. Aluminum takes bolts or screws through its corner holes and stands up to weather. Plastic is light enough to move to a second spot, though it prints on one side only. Ask your town how its rules apply to your land before you post.
Questions about no dumping signs
Should I add a penalty to the sign?
Many buyers add a line such as 'Violators will be prosecuted,' which is the sample line in the builder. Whether a penalty can be enforced depends on where you live, so check your local rules before you order. The live preview shows the wording first.
Where should a no dumping sign go?
Place it where people can read it from the road or the path they use to get in, such as the gate, a gap in a hedge or the fence line facing the street. Aluminum's corner holes take screws, and plastic hangs from its grommets.
Which colors and sizes are available?
No dumping signs come in white on red and black on white. Available sizes: 12 x 12, 12 x 18, 18 x 12 and 24 x 18 in. For a sign read from a truck window, the 24 x 18 in landscape size gives the words the most room.
Can I put a phone number on it to report dumping?
Yes. Use the extra line for a short number, such as a phone or a code for the town office. Long lines shrink the type, so one short line stays easy to read from the road. The live preview shows the final size before you order.
How do I keep the sign from being pulled off?
Mount it on a post or fence with bolts or screws rather than tape or ties, since those take more effort to remove. Aluminum is the sturdier pick for a spot that gets repeated visits. Plastic bends more easily, so keep it on the side of a post away from the road.
