So it's a week past the election and you're still looking out the window at your lawn sign. Recycle? Save for posterity? Re-nest offered a few ideas, but now you've got one other option -- get it out of your yard and onto your bike. Find out how below the jump!
According to Kent's Bike Blog, corrugated plastic signs (called coroplast) are perfect for crafting bike panniers, fenders and -- our favorite -- handlebar bags. Pick up a knife, marker and some basic supplies and give Kent's instructions a try!
If your bike's not in use during the chilly weather, there's still no excuse not to recycle. In the Portland area, see Metro's recycling site or visit Far West Fibers. Recycling resources for other states can be found here.

Maybe we could reuse McCain-Palin signs to make things to help folks carry their belongings out of their foreclosed homes and/or their closed offices after they've been laid off?
You'll need the Obama/Biden signs again in 4 years, stick them in your garage.
there can I get coroplast yard signs? I have some projects in mind, but no signs :-(
as for "yes on 8", i can think of quite a few things i'd like to do to the signs, and the lawns where they were posted.
none of them, however, is useful, pretty, nice, or honorable.
recycle...like i'll recycle these feelings for the next battle.
I'm sure these could be cut into strips and used as toilet paper.
I don't know what to do with the signs, but I like the people who live in that house.
Ours were stolen every 30 seconds, so I'll forward this to the McCain supporters next door.
Those Yes on 8 signs.... (brrr) .... they never stayed around long enough in my neighborhood.
I'm right with ya there, healthyhome.
I don't care whose name is on it, presidential or local, it is wasteful. Do people really think these cheap plastic signs really persuade people's opinion, or is any good for the environment, or beautification of the neighborhood?
In New Zealand all those signs would have to be removed by 7 am on Election Day.
In New Zealand all those signs would have to be removed by 7 am on election day. Usually they are recycledand revamped by the people who put them up - for the next election.
