Abstract: An easily removable label for use in connection with a container to be recycled (e.g. bottle or can). The label has first and second faces. Indicia is provided on the first face and a coating of repositionable adhesive is applied to the second face. The label is also provided with leading and trailing edges which cooperate to form an overlapping area with permanent adhesive which secures one face of the label to the other while at the same time precluding contact of the permanent adhesive with the container. The label may be provided with a perforation line adjacent the overlapping area so that the label may be conveniently separated from the container. The face of the label may be coated with permanent pressure sensitive adhesive release material, and a number of labels provided in a pad. The label provides a lasting adhesion between the container and the label but yet will not leave any significant residue of permanent adhesive once the label is removed.
