Forbes Living to Explore Recycling Old Street Signs for Cash on an Upcoming Segment
Forbes Living has spotted a great idea for cities to make some badly needed cash from something they were ready to discard for scrap.
- Fort Lauderdale, FL (1888PressRelease) June 04, 2014 - The Forbes Living TV show has covered the field of nostalgia merchandising. People are sentimental and an item that triggers fond memories of their childhood can be a precious thing, and much sought after. Cities everywhere change on an ongoing basis, with streets being rerouted and renamed. That leaves the municipality with large, metal signs with the names of streets that may not even exist anymore. The usual practice is to sell these off for scrap value. But the City of Toronto, Ontario, has discovered that there is a considerable demand for old street signs as decorations for home or restaurants. At auction, these signs are fetching prices in the hundreds and up to thousands of dollars apiece. For cash-strapped communities, all signs point to a golden opportunity.
