Region offering free election sign recycling
November 2, 2014 · 0 Comments
Now that the municipal elections are over, candidates and residents who had campaign signs on the lawns have them to take care of.
Peel Region advises residents that election signs can be recycled at any Community Recycling Centre (CRC) free of charge.
It is the responsibility of a candidate’s campaign office to remove all signs in Caledon by 11:59 p.m. today (Thursday).
If residents prefer to recycle the signs prior to removal by the candidates campaign office, they must separate the three main types of signs, corrugated plastic, paperboard and plastic film, from their associated hardware (e.g. metal and wooden stakes and staples) to qualify for free drop off. Election signs will not be collected curbside and are not accepted in apartment recycling containers.
When taking election signs to a CRC, residents must keep them separate from other recycling and waste materials in order to meet the dedicated load free drop off criteria.
Vehicles or trailers containing only materials accepted free of charge are categorized as dedicated loads. If they have materials accepted free and those subject the fees, they will be considered mixed loads and the entire weight will be subject to fees.
For CRC locations and a complete list of accepted items, visit www.peelregion.ca/waste
