Sign Library

Welcome to the NH Recycles Sign Library!

This library of free, printable signs and posters includes examples from New Hampshire towns, frequently requested signs, and more.

You are welcome to download and print signs and images from this page. They can be printed onto corrugated plastic for a-frame inserts and onto rigid plastic to hang in your transfer station or recycling center. Images can be shared on town or related websites and on social media. 

If you have a sign example you would like to submit to the library, or if you have a request for a sign, please email our Education & Grants Manager, Andrea Folsom.(opens in a new tab)

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

  • If you would like to bring the sign to a printer, download the PDF. You will notice the PDF includes crop marks and a 1/4" margin around the edge of the image, which some printers require.
  • If you would like to share the image on a website or social media, download the image.

This is a dynamic library that will continue to be added to over time!

New Hampshire transfer stations can take advantage of the NH the Beautiful a-frame program(opens in a new tab) to receive an a-frame and inserts.
