Wednesday, Nov. 9, (the day after Election Day 2022), will surely dawn seeing some Montgomery County politicos who are elated … and others, not so much. The one thing that can unite all factions of voters, however, is a bipartisan effort to be environmentally responsible with those ubiquitous campaign lawn signs now that ballots have been cast.

The Montgomery County Recycling Office reminds residents that those colorful, coated cardboards bearing candidate names (and the wire supports that keep them in place) are not disposable through regular curbside pickup in either recycle bins or regular trashcans.

Their recyclability requires them to be dropped off for special handling.

To make that effort as convenient as possible, the county has established 16 sites to which they may be taken. They are, in alphabetical order:

• Abington Township Highway Yard, 2201 Florey Lane, Abington
• Cheltenham Township Public Works Facility, 8101 Old York Road, Elkins Park
• Collegeville Borough Municipal Building, 491 East Main St., Collegeville
• Douglass Township Recycling Center, 108 Municipal Drive, Gilbertsville
• Hatfield Township Building, 1950 School Road, Hatfield
• Horsham Township Municipal Building, 1025 Horsham Road, Horsham
• Lower Merion Transfer Station, 1300 North Woodbine Ave., Penn Valley
• Lower Providence Township Public Works Facility, 500 Church Road, Eagleville
• Lower Salford Township Municipal Building, 379 Main Street, Harleysville
• Montgomery County Democratic Committee Headquarters, 21 E. Airy St., Norristown (parking lot behind building)
• Montgomery Township Administration Building, 1001 Stump Road, Montgomeryville
• Skippack Township Building, 4089 Heckler Road, Skippack
• Upper Dublin Township Library, 520 Virginia Drive, Fort Washington
• Upper Gwynedd Township Pool Parking Lot, 1 Parkside Place, North Wales
