"lawn litter" news and stories

I don't know about you, but I hate coming home to take-out menus stuffed in my door, or left on my porch. Oh, if only I lived in New York.

Apparently there's a new law in New York state that any kind of unwanted advertising cannot be left on a property, and the city of New York has just started enforcing it. The property owner will have to post something that specifically states that they don't want the advertisements and that must be highly visible. There's also a whole complaint process that the sanitation department has worked out, and the fines start at $250.

Check out this article in the New York Times City Pages for more information.
