Wheelie bin numbers aren't just practical — they're a small but satisfying way to put your own stamp on your home. With so many designs to choose from, here's a quick guide to help you pick the right one.
Why Visibility Matters
The whole point of a wheelie bin number is that it can be seen clearly — by you, your neighbours, and the collection crew. That means size, colour contrast, and placement all matter. Our numbers are a generous 17cm tall, designed to be read at a glance from across the street.
Option 1: Hi-Vis Reflective Numbers — Maximum Visibility
If you want your bin to be unmistakable, our high-visibility reflective numbers are the top choice. Available in yellow, red, and orange, these catch the light even in low-light conditions — perfect for winter mornings when collection happens before sunrise.
Best for: Anyone who's had their bin go missing, homes on busy streets, or bins that are collected early in the morning.
Option 2: Classic Black — Clean and Timeless
Our Black Design Wheelie Bin Numbers are a perennial favourite. The bold black lettering on a white background gives strong contrast against most bin colours — grey, green, blue, or brown. They look smart, they're easy to read, and they suit any home style.
Best for: A neat, understated look that works on any bin colour.
Option 3: Decorative Designs — Add Some Personality
Why settle for plain when you can have something a bit special? Our decorative range includes cheerful designs like Sunflower, Roses, Rainbow, Poppy, and more. They're practical and pretty — a small detail that brightens up your front drive.
Best for: Adding a personal touch, gifts, or anyone who wants their bin to stand out for the right reasons.
Option 4: Full Sticker Kits — Go All Out
For a really personalised bin, our Decorative Sticker Kits include a number plus coordinating decorative stickers to create a complete look. With 14 designs to choose from, there's something for every taste — from woodland creatures to classic florals.
Best for: A fully coordinated, eye-catching bin that's truly your own.
Option 5: Customised Vinyl Stickers with House Number & Street Name
Want the ultimate in personalisation? Our customised vinyl sticker sets include your house number and street name, printed to order. A great option if you want something completely unique — and a brilliant way to make absolutely sure your bin comes home.
Best for: Maximum personalisation, or homes where multiple bins look identical.
