Yes..but she is close to the answer...I could decide only when the client sent me pdf for reference..it had a picture....
Leslie Marcus Jan 19, 2012:
Well then, it looks like you pretty much have your answer in the link you just sent. "A recycling kiosk with an eco-friendly game". And so Susanne was on the right track, it's a game. But "boundary marker" still doesn't sound right.
Leslie Marcus Jan 18, 2012:
Sean is right. Without more context, who knows...
Sean Sheahan Jan 18, 2012:
Hi all, More context would help to be sure which answer is right...

boundary-marker for the game of selection/recycling

in internet "jeu du tri" is always combined with recycling of used materials. It's a game, developped to train children in recycling. But I'm not a teacher and I hope you find others - more specialized in this field of expertice - nevertheless I hope my little comment may help - by and good luck
Note from asker:
Thanks..your attempt was very closer

neutral Leslie Marcus : I'm not so sure this text is talking about a game. Don't you think it's a "set of containers"?

(Environmentally-friendly/waste) recycling station

I understand this as the facility, or drop-off place, for recycling. You can call it a sorting station as well. Jeu just being the set of containers for glass, paper, etc. But no need to put set in your translation. If you need responsable include environmentally-friendly, otherwise just stick with waste. There are lots of possible combinations.

Thanks, Laurette, I think I'm right but unfortunately, the asker hasn't really given enough context to go on, as I said in the discussion above.
