The metal frames that were used to old up the signs will be recycled locally, and the plastic board will be transformed into a way to generate electricity.
The plastic signs will be transported to NuCycle Energy in Plant City where they will be made into Enviro Fuelcubes. Then, the fuelcubes will be used as a replacement for coal- a cleaner energy source for generating electricity.
