Campaign Sign Recycling

Download the flier for this event. 

We will have multiple drop off options for corrugated plastic campaign signs this election season. Here are the steps to take to recycle signs the right way:

Step 1: Check with local candidates and campaign offices to see if signs will be collected for reuse. If not, could you repaint an old sign for home decor or a party prop?​

Step 2: Separate corrugated plastic signs from any plastic film (or other material) signs (corrugated plastic signs are rigid and about 1/4 inch thick - see flier for image)

Step 3: Remove metal stands and plastic zip ties or other fasteners from all corrugated plastic signs

Step 4: Bring corrugated plastic signs and metal stands to any of the following locations during the indicated dates
