Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CHECK TRASH™ sign used for?

CHECK TRASH™ signs are designed to be placed at dumpster exits in apartment complexes, condominium communities, and HOA-managed properties. They remind residents to check their vehicles for loose trash or debris before pulling into the street, preventing litter and code violations.

What sizes are available?

Our signs are available in three sizes:

  • Small (12" x 18") – Ideal for smaller dumpster areas or single-unit enclosures
  • Medium (18" x 24") – Standard size, good visibility for most properties
  • Large (24" x 36") – Maximum visibility, best for high-traffic or large dumpster areas

What materials are available?

We offer three material options:

  • Economy (Coroplast) – Lightweight corrugated plastic, weather-resistant, most affordable
  • Standard (Aluminum .040) – Industry-standard aluminum for commercial outdoor signage
  • Premium (Aluminum .080) – Heavy-duty, double-thickness aluminum for maximum durability

How long does it take to receive my order?

Because our signs are custom-printed and made to order, please allow 3–5 business days for production. After that, standard shipping typically takes 3–8 business days depending on your location. Express shipping (1–2 business days) is also available.

How do I install the sign?

CHECK TRASH™ signs are compatible with standard sign posts, fencing, and structural surfaces. Hardware (such as mounting brackets or zip ties) is sold separately and is widely available at hardware stores. The signs include pre-drilled holes for easy mounting.

Are the signs weatherproof?

Yes! All CHECK TRASH™ signs feature UV-resistant full-color printing designed to withstand year-round outdoor exposure. Aluminum options offer the highest weather resistance for long-term outdoor installations.

Can I return or exchange a sign?

Because our signs are custom-printed and made to order, we are unable to accept returns except in cases of manufacturing defects or shipping damage. If your sign arrives damaged, please contact us within 14 days of delivery with photos, and we will replace it or issue a refund at no cost to you. See our full Refund Policy for details.
