Recycle Yard Signs

Published on Tuesday October 15th, 2024

Help keep your yard signs out of the landfill this November!

In 2020, the St. Louis region diverted a total of 2,680 pounds of yard signs and 1,200 metal frames from landfills. This year, participation has expanded to almost twentycollection points in the City of St. Louis, St. Louis County, Jefferson County, and St. Charles County.

Please do not place yard signs in your single stream recycling bin! The wire frames can impede or jam sorting equipment at the materials recycling facility (MRF), and the panels may not be made of a recyclable material that is accepted at the MRF.

After the election, you can collect the political yard signs from your street or neighborhood and bring them to one of the dropoff locations below. (Please note: ONLY Corrugated Plastic signs will be accepted; NO plastic wrap/film, cardboard, or laminated cardboard signs. Also, volunteers cannot take signs off of private property without permission.)
