Waste Signage

Philip Mansfield - Carleton University - 11.12.2014




Hi All,

We are in the process of changing over our waste signage and the correct terminology is a question being raised at the last minute, I was proposing the use of the word ‘garbage’ but ‘waste’ is also an option.


Maybe it a British thing, I would have used ‘Rubbish’, so could I get a quick straw poll on the terminology used for your general waste signage.



Thanks,



Philip
