Warning signs

For example, there are ‘No Dumping’ signs. These can have a graphic of a truck within a red crossed through circle giving the clear message that this action is forbidden without the need for words. Those that prefer text should use the aforementioned red and black colour scheme to demonstrate the importance of the message. This type of sign can also hold prosecution or fine information as well.

Other waste control signs include those for no littering, cleaning up after your dog or simply where to leave garbage when leaving the area. All of these can vary in the amount of graphics or text used based simply on how much information is necessary, but all should follow the standard clear format for increased visibility to the general public.
