There are several convenient, easy, and free ways to recycle election yard signs so that they can continue to be useful and don’t end up in landfills.

• SWACO Recycling Convenience Center Drop-Off: Throughout the month of November, yard signs and their metal stakes can be dropped off at the SWACO Recycling Convenience Center at 2566 Jackson Pike in Columbus between 10:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday or 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays.
• Board of Elections Drop-Off: Yard signs can be dropped off November 5th through December 1st at the east end of the parking lot near the Franklin County Board of Elections building at 1700 Morse Rd. in Columbus.

These yard sign drop-off and collection options are free and open to the public.

If none of these options work for you, paper signs can be placed in your curbside recycling container. Stretchy plastic signs can be recycled at retail locations accepting film plastics (such as grocery bags). Please don’t put coroplast (corrugated plastic) signs or metal stands in curbside or drop off containers
