News Release

November 5, 2024

Don Valley West by-election signs must be removed by November 7

The City of Toronto reminds candidates, property owners and residents in Ward 15, Don Valley West, that they are responsible for removing all election signs on private property within 72 hours of the election – by Thursday, November 7.

Election signs can be taken to a designated City Drop-Off Depot for recycling to reduce the amount of waste going to the landfill and should not be placed in the Blue Bin (recycling). Used and surplus signs will be accepted for proper disposal at Bermondsey Transfer Station Drop-Off Depot until Friday, November 22. More information including hours of operation is available on the City’s Drop Off Depot webpage: www.toronto.ca/drop-off-depots.

The City may remove election signs that are in conflict with the Election and Temporary Signs Bylaw (www.toronto.ca/city-government/public-notices-bylaws/bylaw-enforcement/election-signs). Candidates will be notified by the City and provided information on when and where the signs can be retrieved. Any signs not retrieved may be recycled, destroyed or disposed of by the City.

In addition to wooden and metal stakes, the City accepts three types of election signs for recycling at the Bermondsey Transfer Station Drop-Off Depot:
• Corrugated plastic (e.g. Coroplast)
• Fibre based (e.g. paperboard)
• Plastic film (e.g. sleeve style signs)

Before disposing of election signs, candidates, property owners and residents must:
• Separate signs by material and not bundle corrugated plastic signs
• Separate wooden stakes, metal supports and screws from the signs, as dedicated containers will be provided for each material
• Consolidate plastic sleeve signs in a clear plastic bag and tie the bag when full
• Remove all staples and dispose of them in the garbage

There is no fee for dropping off separated clean corrugated plastic, paper fibre and plastic film election signs, associated supports and stakes for recycling. Unseparated mixed waste that includes election signs will be charged the regular fee of $176.39 per metric tonne of material with an $18.00 flat fee.

More information about election sign rules and disposal is available on the City’s Election Signs webpage (www.toronto.ca/ElectionSigns) or by contacting 311.
