Hennepin County yard sign recycling drop off event: November 12 - 26, 2024
INSTRUCTIONS:
Check with the campaign to see if they are collecting for reuse. If your yard sign can’t be reused, drop it off for recycling at four locations November 12-26, 2024. The signs will be brought to Choice Plastics, where they will be turned into pellets and then recycled into new material. Bag-type signs are not accepted, only corrugated plastic.

Uses that involve long-term, persistent exposure to the elements should be avoided to prevent microplastics pollution.
