What To Do With Your Campaign 2018 Yard Signs?

3 political yard signs in a yard with yellow leaves and a house in the background

Taking down yard signs? Don’t trash them – re-purpose them.

Yard signs and stakes are not recyclable. Residents should not put them in blue recycling carts, as they can damage recycling equipment.

Lexington’s Division of Environmental Services is collecting unwanted yard signs and stakes for reuse. The wire frames will get a second life as stakes for “Slow Down!” signs, as part of the Safe Streets initiative. The signs will be reused by local businesses as part of an art project.political yard sign that says marrs district state rep
