Are you a defeated federal election candidate and don’t know what to do with the hundreds of now useless election signs in your garage?
Well Simcoe County has the answer.
The county is offering to recycle those old plastic and cardboard signs at no cost for the rest of this week.
The County’s Director of Solid Waste Management Rob McCullough says they have secured for a limited time a market for the cardboard and plastic campaign signs.
Mccullough says they have three locations where the signs can be dropped off.
That’s at site 10 in Notawasaga, site 11 in Oro Medonte and site 16 in West Gwillimbury.
He says after the fall municipal election they recycled four tonns of old election signs.
After this week, anyone wanting to get rid of the signs will have to pay a tipping fee at the landfill sites.
