“Signs must be separated from their stakes, and components sorted into the correct bins to be recycled,” the city explained in a news release Tuesday. “Large signs must be cut into pieces no larger than one-metre by one-metre.”
Cardboard and plastic household lawn signs can be put out with people’s regular recycling. All frames and stakes should be removed and placed in the garbage or brought to an Eco Station or the Edmonton Waste Management Centre for scrap metal recycling.
