Troubleshooting
Sticker not sticking securely
Ensure the bin surface is completely clean, dry, and smooth. Wipe with rubbing alcohol for better adhesion if necessary, and allow to dry before applying. Press firmly all over, especially the edges.
Sticker peeling after a short time
Check if the surface is porous or has any contaminants. Reapply after thoroughly cleaning and drying the area. Ensure consistent pressure during application.
Number is difficult to read from a distance
While designed for visibility, ensure the sticker is applied to a flat, unobstructed part of the bin. Clean the sticker surface regularly to remove dirt that might obscure the number.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the surface of your wheelie bin is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or other residues. A simple wipe-down with a damp cloth followed by thorough drying is recommended.
- Carefully peel the backing paper away from the 'Number 4' sticker.
- Align the sticker precisely where you want to place it on the bin.
- Press down firmly from the center outwards to ensure a secure and bubble-free adhesion. Pay special attention to the edges.
Compatibility:
These stickers are designed to adhere to most solid, non-porous surfaces commonly found on wheelie bins, such as plastic. They may not adhere effectively to heavily textured, porous, or uneven surfaces.
Care:
To maintain the appearance and adhesion of the sticker, clean the area around it with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washing directly on the sticker, as this can damage the material or compromise its adhesive properties.
