A Trash Chute Room Sign is an important component of a waste management system in a building. The sign is typically located near the door of the trash chute room, which is a space that houses the waste disposal chute.

The purpose of the Trash Chute Room Sign is to clearly identify the location of the trash chute room and provide important information such as the types of waste that are allowed and prohibited, weight restrictions, and proper usage procedures. This information helps individuals to use the trash chute safely and efficiently, and helps to prevent damage to the equipment or harm to individuals using it.

A Trash Chute Room Sign should be easily visible, with clear and concise information. The sign should be made of durable materials, such as metal or plastic, and be resistant to the elements. In addition, the sign should be mounted at a height that is easily accessible to users, typically between 4 and 6 feet from the ground.

It is important for building owners and managers to regularly inspect and maintain the Trash Chute Room Sign to ensure it is easily visible and the information on it is accurate. This includes checking that the sign is securely mounted, the information is up to date, and the sign is free from damage or graffiti. By properly maintaining the Trash Chute Room Sign, building owners and managers can help ensure the safe and efficient use of the waste disposal system, and prevent damage or injury to individuals using it.

Tactile Signs (Raised Print and Braille)-A tactile sign is any sign that can be read by touch. Braille, raised print and raised symbols or pictograms are examples of tactile elements used on signs. Doors and openings that lead to public spaces should be identified by tactile signage.

Raised Print Signs-Raised print signs are useful for people with no vision at all or for people whose remaining vision is sufficient to allow them to locate a sign but not sufficient to read it. Some people impacted by blindness, especially those born with little or no vision, may not know what print looks like and may be unable to read raised print. For this reason, all raised print signs should be accompanied by Braille lettering.

Braille Signs-Braille signage is essential for accessibility of information to individuals who exclusively use Braille. Use Braille signs consistently to identify key features in the built environment or direction signage in the building.

 The most effective location for a tactile sign is on the wall on the latch side of a door or opening

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards ensure that everyone finds your building accessible. These standards extend to a variety of features in a building--including your signage. It is imperative that your signs are ADA compliant when necessary. This refers to making sure visually impaired occupants can read your sign, and the standards are very specific.

What kind of signs need to be ADA compliant?

ADA signs are often found indoors or at the entrance of a building. If a sign identifies a permanent room or space, it must adhere to the guidelines. Adherence is also required for signs indicating exits, elevators, and restrooms--as well as signs that direct occupants or inform them about the accessible features of your building. ADA parking signs are the blue signs that indicate handicapped parking spaces.

What does being ADA compliant mean?

Because the main purpose of ADA signs is to identify accessible features and be readable for visually impaired occupants, they need to include clear visual characters as well as tactile characters. Tactile characters are either raised letters or braille. Simply including tactile characters isn’t enough. The visual letters also must adhere to certain standards--including the height and spacing of the characters. They need to be readable by occupants with low vision.

General rules for ADA signs include:

The background and characters must contrast (light on dark or dark on light) and.

Visual characters must use an easy-to read font that is not italic, script, or otherwise unconventional and decorative.

If the sign identifies a room, it must be adjacent to the door at the proper height

The International Symbol of Access must be standard rather than stylish

Proper ADA signage is required in order to obtain a certificate of occupancy for your building. Many business owners and landlords overlook this requirement because of their busy schedules, and they get an unwelcome surprise when the building inspector comes. All buildings need to be compliant, no matter what kind of business or establishment you have.

American disability Act (ADA) signs are building signs that are specifically designed to ensure people with disabilities the same access and functionality to business facilities as people without disabilities. ADA signs must present the same information to every person regardless of physical limitations. New York, California and many other states require building owners to install per the American disability act (ADA) signs that have raised image, raised letters and Braille below. The signs need to have strong contrast between the letters and Braille at the bottom.

You can find some Frequently Asked Questions about our signs and ada signs below:

Do ADA requirements extend to Braille signage? The 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design (ADAAG) stipulates a braille standard for ADA signs requiring braille. In 1980 California was the first state to establish its own braille standard, known as “California (Title 24) Braille”, and mandate its use for ADA signs across the state.

What does ADA mean?  Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990/Full name

Do all ADA signs need Braille?  BRAILLE OR NO BRAILLE: Though the 2010 ADAAG guideline sets standards for braille signs, it does not stipulate where in a building braille signs are required. However, the ADA Standards for Accessible Design (1994) does require that signs designating permanent rooms and spaces must have raised characters and braille.

Where are ADA signs required? ADA signs should be installed no lower than 48 inches from the floor and no higher than 60 inches from the floor. If there is not enough space to mount the sign in the specified location, it may be installed on the nearest adjacent wall in a clearly visible location. ADA signs should not be mounted directly on a door

What is tactile text? A Tactile text is a raised surface that a visually impaired person can feel. They are with strong contrast background so visually impaired persons can locate them easily

What makes a sign ADA compliant? All ADA-compliant signs must have backgrounds and characters that do not create any glare, unless the signs are for parking or traffic. People who have vision impairments are not able to process glare or reflection very well, especially elderly people
