I've seen a fairly significant number of campaign signs lingering throughout the neighborhood even a week after last Tuesday's elections.

I understand about basking in the afterglow of a win or defiantly continuing to show support for a candidate who didn't make the team this go-round, but really, it's time to let go and move on. At least that's what my therapist tells me.

Well, sir, the city just issued a press release offering a plan to dispose-of-properly all those leftover mini-billboards.

Dallas Sanitation Services opened four campaign-sign recycle centers for just such an emergency. The closest to this neighborhood is the Fair Oaks Transfer Station.

The recycle area will stay open Monday-Sunday for two weeks, though Nov. 26. Take off the parts on the backs of the signs — the stakes — before dropping them off. Metal stakes are OK for recycling but not the wooden ones.  People who have only one or two can just then in the blue bin for household recycling.
