"A lot of the candidates are struggling to recycle them or know what to do with them," he said.

"We'll always advise people to please don't use posters, maybe try to use online, do something else.

"Other candidates we'd be advising if you're going to run again please keep your posters and reuse them, but if people are not going to use them again we will recycle them."
