Sustainability leaders in 15 St. Louis area cities and counties, along with recycling advocates, are hosting public collection sites for recycling plastic yard signs and their metal-stake holders.

Plastic election signs like these can be recycled. Now that the votes are in, you may be wondering what to do with that yard sign you had for your preferred candidate or issue.

Stuck with an old yard sign you no longer want? Don't throw it out: upcycle it into beautiful, customizable yard or garden art with this simple DIY.

The company will pick up plastic campaign yard signs, business yard signs, stretchy plastic signs, damaged plastic yard signs and metal “H” frame stakes.
