Montco Holding Free Campaign Sign Recycling Program
After Election Day, there will be 16 sites around the county to drop off your campaign signs and prevent needless waste.
NORRISTOWN, PA — Once Election Day passes, the thousands upon billions of campaign signs scattered across Montgomery County will have largely outlived their usage. Officials are working to make sure they don't all go to waste.
The Montgomery County Recycling Office is organizing a free drop-off program for the signs to be recycled. Drop off is between Wednesday, Nov. 8 and Monday, Nov. 13.
"Campaign yard signs are either paperboard or plastic with a metal stand,” Veronica Harris, recycling manager for Montgomery County, said in a statement. "Plastic signs and metal stands cannot go into the regular curbside recycling; that is only for paper and packaging. Instead of sorting through what can or cannot be recycled, bring the signs to a participating location and we’ll sort through it for you."
