As Benbrook clears away the last reminders of election season, one resident is turning leftover campaign signs into something unexpected: Christmas cheer.
Local resident Christopher Gallegos is collecting used corrugated plastic yard signs to repurpose them as lighting mounts for his elaborate Halloween and Christmas light shows in Trinity Estates. The signs, typically headed for the landfill after campaigns wrap up, are sturdy and weather-resistant—making them perfect for holding up lights and decorations.
Neighbors have quickly joined in, offering to donate stacks of signs and spreading the word to help his creative recycling effort. The initiative has also highlighted something else Benbrook residents take pride in: keeping the city clean. Many candidates were seen gathering their signs shortly after Election Day, ensuring streets and neighborhoods were tidied up in record time.
So, if you have leftover signs taking up space, consider reaching out to Christopher or others finding inventive ways to reuse them. In Benbrook, even old campaign signs can help light up the holidays.
