Littering is a scourge on our environment and councils across the UK. Encourage responsible waste disposal and maintain hygiene in public or private spaces.

This sign politely reminds people to dispose of their waste properly, promoting a clean, safe, and pest-free environment.

Positioning it near bins, entrances, seating areas, or pathways ensures high visibility and encourages compliance before litter accumulates. In locations prone to pest activity, clear and polite messaging can significantly reduce the risk of infestations.

The wording “Prevent the Attraction of Pests” educates the public on the consequences of littering, while “Bin Your Litter” provides a simple, actionable instruction. The use of polite language increases receptivity, making people more likely to follow the guidance without feeling reprimanded, fostering a positive culture of cleanliness and responsibility.

Overall, this sign helps maintain hygiene, supports public health, reduces maintenance costs, and protects the environment.
