Can Campaign Signs Get a "2nd Term"?

Do we all agree that by the last 2 weeks of a major election campaign signs everywhere are about nauseating?

Well, what happens to the signs after an election? Whose job is it to remove them from light poles, fences, greenbelts, intersections...you name it? Should they be removed at taxpayer expense? Well some cities have rules about the candidate removing the signs within 30 days of an election, other cities have crews that remove them and I'm told that some candidates remove their signs without having to be asked.

But what about giving signs a "2nd Term"? How can we re-cycle them to be painted over by upcoming candidates or stored to live another day as they are re-used by incumbents? Wouldn't that be better than filling up dumpsters with campaign signs of an election aftermath?

There must be a way to take this old fashioned campaiging in a "Green Direction"?
