Recycle 2017 Campaign Signs In Upper Dublin

UPPER DUBLIN, PA — With Election Day in Pennsylvania now just days away, there are more campaign signs across the region than there have been all year.

After the election on Nov. 7, many of these signs will go to waste when they are thrown away.

Montgomery County is offering a sign recycling program to limit waste and allow these signs to be put back into use to create other products.

The county is partnering with Republic Services, Cougle's Recycling, and the Democratic and Republican committees of the county on the program.

"This collection program does not seek to take the campaign sign clean up responsibilities away from the campaigns," the county said. "Instead, the program hopes to connect candidates and residents with drop off points so that signs can be recycled instead of thrown in the trash."

Residents can drop signs off at the following locations from Nov. 8 to Nov. 13:
