Montgomery County opens campaign sign recycling sites

Voters may not yet know who won their local elections, but they know what they can do with their campaign signs.

The Montgomery County Recycling Office is reminding residents to recycle campaign signs instead of sending them to the landfill. On Wednesday, the county announced 15 sites for residents to drop off campaign signs for recycling.
