Fridge magnets for councils and community organisations

Information residents need, where they'll look for it

Councils and community organisations spend a lot of effort getting practical information to residents: which bin goes out this week, who to call when a tree comes down, when the library holds its next event. Websites and social posts help, but plenty of households still want that information somewhere physical and close at hand.

The fridge door is that place. A well-designed magnet puts the details residents use most in the spot they check every day, and it stays useful without anyone having to log in or search.

Bin collection calendar magnets

A bin collection calendar is one of the most practical things a council can send home. Our calendar magnets give you room to lay out a full year of collection days, with general waste, recycling and garden organics each shown in their own colour.

• DL (210 x 97 mm) suits a single-zone 2027 calendar and fits easily into a rates notice or letterbox drop.
• A5 (210 x 148 mm) gives a larger month-by-month layout, with space for public holiday changes and bulky waste dates.
• A4 (210 x 294 mm) works when you need a detailed guide to what goes in each bin alongside the calendar.

Our designers can set each month out clearly, add your council logo and contact centre number, and include a short reminder about putting bins out the night before.

Emergency and services numbers

When a storm hits or the power goes out, residents shouldn't have to hunt for the right number. A magnet listing local emergency and service contacts keeps them in one place: Triple Zero (000), your council's after-hours line, power and water fault lines, and local emergency service numbers.

A6 (105 x 148 mm) and DL rectangles give enough room for a clear list without making the text too small. For a simpler message, a business card magnet at 90 x 54 mm can carry a single important number, such as an after-hours line or a community support service.

Community events and programs

Magnets also suit seasonal and ongoing programs. Councils and community groups use them to promote:

• library programs, school holiday activities and opening hours;
• local festivals, markets and community days;
• hard rubbish or chemical clean-out days;
• neighbourhood centre services and volunteer programs;
• water-saving tips or energy programs from local utilities.

Shapes and circles can help a campaign stand out. A 64 mm or 80 mm circle magnet makes a neat badge-style reminder, and a house shape works well for programs aimed at households.

The facts for sustainable procurement

Public sector buyers often need to show that green credentials have been considered. We keep ours plain and factual so you can assess them against your own criteria:

• printed on 100% recycled paper;
• covered with a plastic-free, biodegradable laminate;
• the rubber magnet contains at least 30% recycled material;
• made with 90% renewable energy, from solar power on our factory;
• packed in 100% recyclable packaging, with no plastic;
• made in our own factory in Prestons, Sydney, by Clever Fridge Magnets, making promotional magnets in Australia since 1994.

We don't claim more than that. The finished magnet isn't described as recyclable, because most kerbside services don't accept magnets. More detail is on our eco-friendly fridge magnets page, and our team can answer procurement questions at [email protected].

Planning a council or community mail-out

Our designer contacts you within 24 hours, works through as many revisions as you need, and you approve the final design before receiving an invoice. There are no cancellation fees, which helps when a project is waiting on internal sign-off.

If your communications team has its own designer, download the PDF print template from the product page and supply print-ready artwork.
