Recycle Election Campaign Signs In Montgomery County

Once Election Day is over, your campaign signs don't have to go to waste.

Montgomery County is offering free recycling of signs at locations throughout the area between Nov. 3 and Nov. 13.

Residents can recycle some materials independently; cardboard signs may be recycled in curbside programs and plastic bag type signs may be recycled with plastic grocery bags at local retail drop offs.

Cardboard and plastic bag signs will be accepted at yard sign drop off locations along with corrugated plastic signs and metal stands, which are more difficult materials to have recycled.

This collection program does not seek to take the campaign sign clean up responsibilities away from the campaigns. Instead, the program hopes to connect candidates and residents with drop off points so that signs can be recycled instead of thrown in the trash.
