Neighborhood collections
Department of Public Works will pick up large amounts of signs collected in your neighborhood and make sure these items get recycled properly. You'll need to fill out a Volunteer Application here, and make sure to include the phrase "ELECTION SIGN RECYCLING" in the description of the project.
Be sure that you have separated out the plastic sleeves from the metal brackets BEFORE pick-up, otherwise it may not be properly recycled!
