Yard trim labels are great... when they stick

From our mailbag, in response to my recent post about the importance of labelling yard trim cans:

I agree with your concerns about labeling yard waste cans. The problem is that those labels are not robust enough to stick or stand-up to moisture and come off readily.

Thanks for your comments, M.

Agreed.  Getting the yard trim labels to remain on cans has been a challenge sometimes.  We haven't given up!  When we ordered our most recent batch of labels this Spring, we selected ones which are supposed to have better adherence and fade-resistance than our previous ones.  We'd be happy to mail you replacement yard trim labels from our new stock.

We're also happy to make a house call with spray adhesive for yard trim stickers which refuse to stay stuck.  To request a visit, please contact our Customer Service staff.

The remedy for me, when the Yard Trim labels started to fall off, was to use clear packing tape over them.
