Graphics for Waste and Recycling Fleets
Refuse operations are hard on graphics in a specific way: rough-textured bin surfaces that standard adhesives will not hold, constant abrasion, and vehicles that operate in low light at the start and end of every route. Each of those is a material problem with a material solution.

Night visibility
Safety reflective decals
Reflective decal strips in 3M reflective vinyl, printable in any pattern and color. We recommend reflective striping on the corners of bins and vehicles for night visibility.
Waste and recycling vehicles should carry reflective decal striping at approximately 50 percent coverage along the sides, roughly 4 feet above ground level.
Across the fleet
Fleet consistency
Municipal and contracted refuse fleets typically need identical graphics across dozens or hundreds of units, often applied over several years as vehicles cycle through. We hold artwork and color specifications so unit 90 matches unit 1.
