Drop-off Campaign Sign Recycling

Lawn Sign

The City of Saint Paul will be accepting corrugated plastic yard signs & metal wire stakes at our 891 Dale Street N, Saint Paul, MN, 55103, Public Works location. 

  • Wednesday, 11/6/24 – 5 pm - 7 pm
  • Saturday, 11/9/24 – 10 am - 12 pm

We are only accepting corrugated plastic yard signs and the metal wire stakes. These are the standard and most popular materials used for yard signs during elections.

There is no size limitation. All corrugated plastic yard signs will be recycled at Choice Plastics located in Mounds, Minnesota. 

All drop-offs will be facilitated in a drive-thru style. City staff will be outside in front of the building to collect the materials. To respect the flow of traffic, please enter from Dale St N & Topping St. If there is a line of cars, please wait in your car until it is your turn.

Yard signs are typically accompanied by metal wire stakes. We ask that you detach the metal wire stakes in advance for quicker drop-off service. All metal wire stakes will be recycled at Alter Trading in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Nov 11 - Collection Week - No Delay

City offices will be closed Monday, November 11 in observance of the Veteran's Day holiday, however, there will be no delay in garbage or recycling pickup. 

Recycling Hauler Changes for Multi-unit Properties

Starting November 1, 5+ unit properties in Saint Paul will have a new hauler, FCC Environmental. Tenants, owners, and property managers can expect the same level of service with no interruptions and no changes to their collection days. At this time, there is no action required by property owners.

There are no changes in recycling or garbage services for 1-4-unit properties.

The City contracts with private haulers to provide recycling services to all residential properties. The cost of this service is assessed to the property owner’s Ramsey County Property Taxes.
