Election signs can be brought to all seven city drop-off depots for disposal or recycling, where three types are accepted for recycling, as well as wooden and metal stakes, including corrugated plastic (i.e. Coroplast), fibre-based (paperboard) and plastic film (i.e. sleeve-style signs)
There is no fee for dropping off separated clean corrugated plastic, paperboard and plastic film election signs, associated supports and stakes for recycling.
Used and surplus election signs are being accepted for proper disposal at certain drop-off Depot locations until Friday, Nov. 29, and locations and hours of operation are available online .
Separate sign material, stakes, support and screws
Before disposing of election signs, everyone is being reminded not to bundle corrugated plastic signs or mix signs made of different materials, and to separate all wooden stakes, metal supports and screws from the signs with dedicated containers provided for each material.
They’re also being told to consolidate plastic sleeve signs in a clear plastic bag and tie shut when full, remove all staples and dispose of them in the garbage, as staples damage recycling equipment.
The city says any signs with staples will be considered garbage and a fee will be charged to dispose of them.
Unseparated mixed waste that includes election signs will be charged the regular fee of $189.86 per metric tonne of material and a flat fee of $19 for the first 100 kg.
To report election signs that are not removed on time, people may contact 311 to submit a service request.
