Sorry I wasted your time, as I obviously made an error in posting (1st time user...) I was asking for a translation from English to HINDI. Thanks!

agree  Jack Doughty: apart from puleze - should be pleez. The second vowel is sometimes used in a slang form to give exasperated emphasis, but not in normal language.

agree  Dave Calderhead: shouldn't it be 'bored' rater than 'bo ard' - not that it matters as asker wants to know what this is and what it sounds like in Hindi!

Kripayaa Kevalmaatra kagaz aur kaardbord hee ismein dalein


Explanation:
कृपया केवल मात्र कागज़ और कार्ड बोर्ड ही इसमें डालें
As you indicate it is sign on a recycling container to prevent garbage being thrown in,then it is appropriate to clarify to people.
The phonetic pronunciation is exact the target term written in english and lettering in Hindi word as above which you can see from view-encoding-UTF8 (in internet explorer)

please=Kripayaa
only =Kevalmaatra
'hee'gives stress on 'Kevalmaatra'
put= dalein
here=ismein
then the sentence becomes 'paper and cardboard only put here please'.you can say this is not exact word asked but this is essential to clarify the matter to local people.
