After wrapping up primary elections Tuesday, Orange and Osceola counties are turning to the cleanup of hundreds of candidate signs placed across the region. But these yard signs are tough to recycle. They’re made up of a particular plastic that usually ends up in landfills, something both counties are trying to prevent.
Recycling in Seminole County
Seminole County Solid Waste is partnering with the League of Women Voters of Seminole County, and PureCycle Technologies.
Now through September 3, people can drop off signs at the Central Transfer Station in Longwood that will then be recycled by PureCycle—and not end up in a landfill.
The Central Transfer Station is located at 1950 S.R. 419, in Longwood. The station is open Monday through Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Orange County is going green
Along with Orange County, League of Women Voters, the City of Orlando and the city of Winter Park are teaming up with recycling company NuCycle.
Sign drop offs can be made through September 1, but before donating, you must remove the wood and metal frames from the signs.
