Recycling Used Political Signs


What to do with those political signs in your front yard, now that the election is over? Drop them off at Trim Pines! We'll find some very creative ways to reuse and recycle them for you. We can use the wires and the cardboard, and when we're done we'll be careful to scrap them instead of landfilling.

One of the ideas that got discarded (pardon the pun): To use the cardboard in our hayride/bonfire marketing: "Use your least favorite politician's sign for kindling in your own bonfire"

An idea that is being saved for fall: Use the wires for row cover supports in the market garden. They'll help extend the season for many tasty veggies. Sounds like mini-involvement for the community in growing local produce! I can't wait to try it.
