With 2021 elections over, the campaign signs may be down, but many were saved from their usual past fate of being thrown in the trash and buried in a landfill. Zero Waste's Susan Knell spearheaded the collection, and many of the candidates -- city council, school board, parks and fire commission -- participated by dropping them off at her house. About 200 signs are now set to be reused as insulation in a compost construction project by islander V Calvez. The metal post inserts are being stored by Herb Hethcote and are available for borrowing.
