    I believe they would be talking about a 4x4 lumber post with a lumber cross base made of 2x4's like you used to make for Christmas trees, but with gussets added to brace the base, then painted to match the sign background. Solid and heavy. They used to use signs like this at camps...

    I guess you could throw them in the ocean with your plastic straws. Really, we just put them in the garbage. Your conundrum is kind of like the one we have with fluorescent light bulbs.
