12 Ways to Recycle or Reuse a Campaign Sign

Inspired by post election energy and a post on How to Recycle Your Election Yard Signs by Planet Green, I came up with a Squidoo Lens on Ways to Recycle Campaign Signs.

How you choose to reuse or re-purpose the sign may depend on who you supported during the campaign and who the sign is for.


Here are the list of suggestions from Ways to Recycle Campaign Signs:
  1. Disassemble Your Campaign Signs
  2. Plant them in a Hope Garden
  3. Recycle Those Old Campaign Signs
  4. Turn them into Park Benches and other Projects
  5. Turn them into New Art for a Cause
  6. Use the Campaign Signs for Target Practice
  7. Help a Bird Sanctuary or Animal Shelter
  8. Keep them for Sentimental Purposes
  9. Turn it into a Free Hugs Sign
  10. Replace it with an Imagine Peace Sign from CafePress
  11. Sell Your Campaign Signs on eBay
  12. Hold on to them to Reuse in 2012
Perhaps the easiest thing to do is to disassemble the signs and take the parts to your local recycling center. You can find a recycling center by contacting Earth911.com
