Recycle Campaign Yard Signs At Lower Merion Transfer Station

LOWER MERION TOWNSHIP, PA — The Montgomery County Recycling Office is running a weeklong campaign yard sign recycling program, and residents in Lower Merion can drop their signs off locally.

The program will last from Wednesday through Wednesday, Nov. 13.

Seventeen sites across the county are taking campaign signs for recycling.

In Lower Merion, signs can be dropped off at the Lower Merion Transfer Station, 1300 North Woodbine Ave. in Penn Valley. Drop offs can be made during regular hours.

Accepted materials are paperboard and plastic (corrugated and film) yard signs and metal stands.

"Campaign yard signs are either paperboard or plastic with a metal stand," Veronica Harris, Recycling Manager for Montgomery County, said. "Plastic signs and metal stands cannot go into the regular curbside recycling. They can either go in the trash or be brought to a collection site for recycling. Curbside recycling is only for paper and packaging such as metal and plastic food, beverage and household product containers. Metal stands and plastic signs will be pulled out of the recycling processing line for curbside recycling as contamination. The signs from the county collection sites will be sorted by material before they are sent for recycling so that they can be successfully processed into new products."
