Save your sticks. They are re-usable.
Use them in Peace marches, anti-coal and nuclear protests.

The plastic sleeve yard signs can be removed from their frames and used as bags for any number of things.  The first thing that comes to mind is to use them instead of wrapping paper for gifts for any occasion, especially for odd shaped presents.

I love the re-use of the political signs as "Yard Sale Signs"...what a great idea!

These political signs usually become "land fill", or even worse...stain the landscape for long after the election.

I say YEAH!  Any reuse is good reuse.

Check out what Kent was able to do for his bike with reused campaign signs.

It does make the use of zip-ties which is not necessarily an eco-groovy solution but maybe somebody can suggest an alternative.

It can be cut to make the brim of a witches hat, or other hats for children's parties. You cut little Vs in the other material to link it to the brim.
It can be used as a weed suppresent. You level out some cleared ground or part of a path, put down the sign, then cover with gravel or topsoil or whatever.
It could be a flat surface for under a chair cushion, so it doesn't sag so much.
