WHAT:
In an effort to keep waste out of landfills, the City of Orlando has six collection sites for the drop-off of elections yard signs so they can be recycled. The metal frames will be recycled locally, and the plastic corflute signs will be transported to NuCycle Energy in Plant City where they will be transformed into NuCycle's Enviro Fuelcubes. The Enviro Fuelcubes currently being manufactured by NuCycle are used by a large cement manufacturer to generate electricity, replacing coal as a much cleaner energy source.
Each location will have a marked bluebin or crate for both signs and stands for drop-off.
