Most of the road signs I see look like they are made from aluminum. If they are they probaly get recycled. Your best bet would be to call DOT, or city maintenance or county road department.

My brother worked at a yard for a while, he might be able to help you at.
We've been known to take my dad's truck and a ratchet set and get a few street signs. -Ducky

Yep, he's right. I got a speed limit sign from a dumpster. There were a ton of others in there, but I could only carry one. It was 30 MPH. It's 80 now  I have a stop sign too. And a few road signs. Just local roads, nothing to funny. My roommate has a Shady Ln sign, always liked that. |
