Election Sign Removal and Recycling

Accepted materials are limited to election signs only that are corrugated plastic. Please remove all metal or wood stakes, nails, tape, and any other attachments before drop-off. 

Candidates are encouraged to reuse signs where possible and recycle only those that cannot be reused. The program supports Circular Economy Month and helps divert election sign materials from landfill.
