Signage for recycla Tenant Participation Download and Print Instructions With the new recycla, solid waste franchise agreement, it is very important that your tenants are aware of the program benefits and know how to participate successfully. Athens has created a series of signage that you might find useful to download, print, and hang near your waste containers and collection areas. (Download instructions are below.) Printing: Only print the signs that are specific to your property and waste set up. Avoid cutting off borders when printing by doing the following: save document, open PRINT, find PAGE SCALING, and select FIT TO PRINTABLE AREA. Laminate/Velcro: For long-term durability, we recommend laminating your signs and using Velcro tape to affix them to the wall or similar surface. (Velcro tape is available at hardware, crafts, and office supply stores). If translation is necessary, please let your Athens Account Manager know.
