LUCAS COUNTY, Ohio — A local organization is spreading an important reminder: don't put your yard signs in your curbside recycling bins or take them to your normal recycling drop-off locations.

Keep Toledo/Lucas County Beautiful is offering an alternative by collecting campaign yard signs for safe and proper recycling at a specialized center. 

You can bring campaign yard signs from Nov. 3-15 to the following locations in Lucas and Wood Counties during regular business hours:

According to Keep Toledo/Lucas County Beautiful it's estimated that each candidate averages one sign per 30 registered voters. With over 400,000 registered voters in Lucas and Wood Counties, that means the potential of 13,000 signs per candidate.
