Reply to comment by ThunderTwat in I want a law that fines the sign-manufacturing political party $50 per sign left over after election day. by PlentyCommission166

That seems like a stretch. Although if I saw someone with a LePage sign and a town council sign. I would automatically assume that I don’t agree with town council candidate. Guilt by association.

That said, it’s a huge environmental waste. I can’t imagine the collective tonnage of waste thrown out after Election Day.

I helped break down signs for a local candidate. The bent metal "wickets" went in the metal dumpster while the good ones are being saved for the next race. (We assemble them with new signs from the printer ourselves.) The plastic cardboardy stuff is theoretically recyclable, and went in the recycle bin. It's as recyclable as anything else that went in that bin, which is dubious.
