After the ballots are counted, what happens to all the MANY political yard signs?
Unfortunately, the materials these signs are comprised of are not recyclable in the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County’s dual stream county-wide recycling program.
However, there is good news!
Resource Depot, SWA of Palm Beach County, and Cemex have partnered to collect and recycle Palm Beach County campaign signs.
Signs will be transported to a NuCycle facility in Plant City, Florida, which recycles the material into enviro-fuel cubes used as a cleaner alternative for coal!
Please drop off campaign signs at one of seven SWA Home Chemical & Recycling Centers located throughout the county until November 22, 2024.
Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the (few) campaign signs from my 2020 candidacy were PAPER! The legs were steel!
ALL related materials were recycled or reused! You can win without all of those plastic signs!
As a matter of fact, the wood from our large sign now borders our butterfly garden. 🌻
