A Source for Free Corrugated Craft Sheets
 
You can get nice plastic sheets for free (and do your community a service) by pulling up those illegal "snipe signs" that line most roadways.

Most are made from plastic that is corrugated like cardboard. You could use the back of the signs for labelling launch pads at a club launch. I'm not sure of any other specific rocketry use for the sheets themselves, but they might be handy for other hobbies or crafts. I've already used one as a solid-color backdrop for a photo.

After elections, I scrounge the campaign signs along the roads. Occasionally they are the corrugated plastic, but most are plastic garbage bag material over a wire frame. Turn the bag inside out, and stencil a rocket logo and an arrow on the solid surface.

"Snipe signs"? I'm not familiar with the term - what are you referring to?

They are those small signs people stick in the ground along roadways.

In the area I live in, they are illegal unless you have a permit. And permits are only issued for political signs during election periods and, only on weekends, for yard sales and homes sales. So, the vast majority of them are illegal.
