Do you plan to recycle your campaign yard signs this month?

The League of Women Voters of Tallahassee is encouraging residents to recycle campaign yard signs at four Leon County locations. Collection runs from Nov. 4 to Dec. 4, with signs recycled into reusable materials.

Why it matters

The effort reduces landfill volume and the need for raw materials to make new products. For Tallahassee residents, it offers a practical way to dispose of political signs after an election cycle.

The program diverted 2,289 pounds of material from the waste stream in 2024 across four Leon County sites. The figure is an organizational tally, and the stub does not provide a year-over-year comparison or the expected volume for this collection.

A local chapter of the nonpartisan civic organization that promotes voter education and civic participation in the Tallahassee area.

The details

Residents can drop off campaign yard signs in bins located in the parking lot at the Leon County Elections Center, the Hazardous Waste Drop Off Site, the City of Tallahassee Beautification & Waste Management Facility, and Marpan Recycling. Signs are recycled into reusable materials.

Civic Engagement

The League of Women Voters of Tallahassee, a local chapter of the national nonpartisan voter education organization, has extended its civic role into post-election waste reduction. The campaign sign recycling program continues that community-focused approach.

Residents with campaign yard signs can take them to one of four Leon County collection sites between Nov. 4 and Dec. 4 rather than discarding them in household trash. The collection is free to drop off signs in the designated bins.

The takeaway

Dropping off old campaign signs at a designated site keeps usable material out of landfills. Residents who want to participate can plan the trip during the Nov. 4 to Dec. 4 window.
