St. Louis, MO, November 5, 2026 — A collaborative effort by the Missouri Botanical Garden, Republic Services, and OneSTL is underway to provide a dedicated recycling solution for political yard signs following recent elections. The initiative aims to divert these materials from landfills and ensure proper disposal.
The special recycling drive is currently active and will continue through next week. This period allows residents ample opportunity to bring their used political yard signs and accompanying metal frames to designated collection points.
A significant number of drop-off locations, exceeding 20, have been established to facilitate easy access for community members. These locations are spread across several geographical areas, including St. Louis city, St. Louis County, St. Charles County, Jefferson County, and extending into Madison County, Illinois. The organizers emphasized that these specific items, due to their materials and construction, are not suitable for inclusion in standard residential recycling bins.
The partnership between the horticultural organization, a waste management company, and a regional planning entity underscores a shared commitment to environmental stewardship and waste reduction within the St. Louis metropolitan area and surrounding counties.
