Yard Sign Recycling

/ Club Updates

From the Plain Dealer: Residents of Cuyahoga County looking to recycle campaign yard signs after the Nov. 8 election should not include them as part of their regular curbside pickup. Instead, residents can bring yard signs, one at a time or in bulk, to the Solid Waste District headquarters at 4750 E. 131st St. in Garfield Heights, from where they are taken to North Coast Recycling Specialists in Wickliffe. Thanks for all your help and support for this past election!
