CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District is encouraging its residents, candidates, elected officials and ward clubs to round up and drop off their election signs to keep them out of landfills.

The district is looking to collect any plastic film, corrugated plastic and paper signs -- plus the metal stands – at the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District in Garfield Heights. Signs will be collected Nov. 4-Nov. 20.

The district is open 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Unwanted campaign yard signs are processed and recycled into paper towels, toilet paper, mailing crates and metal products at Northcoast Recycling Specialists in Wickliffe.

The district has been collecting and recycling campaign signs into new and usable consumer goods since the 2012 general election.

The Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District is a public agency helping the people of Cuyahoga County reduce, reuse and recycle at home, at work and in their communities.

Residents should check with their local ward club or city service department to see if there is a collection near them.
