Scrap Metal Waste Only - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Used to indicate that a specific container, skip, or area is designated exclusively for scrap metal disposal. Its primary purpose is to ensure proper segregation of metal waste, prevent contamination with other materials, and promote safe handling and recycling of metal items.

This sign is typically placed on or near metal bins, skips, or storage areas in construction sites, workshops, factories, or industrial facilities. Proper positioning ensures that workers, contractors, and staff know exactly where to deposit scrap metal, preventing accidental mixing with general waste or other recyclables.

It is particularly important in environments where multiple types of waste are produced simultaneously, such as timber, plastics, paper, or hazardous materials. By clearly identifying scrap metal disposal areas, the sign helps maintain an organized site, supports recycling programs, and reduces the risk of injury from improperly disposed metal objects.

Using a Scrap Metal Waste Only sign in combination with other waste segregation signage and safety procedures enhances overall site safety and environmental compliance. Proper placement ensures that all personnel follow correct disposal practices, keeping the work area safer, cleaner, and more efficient.
