I realize the person distributing it have to do what their boss tells them, but I contacted the owner of the business. He says that since it is an apartment I need signatures from all of our tenants before he is legally required to stop, even though his delivery person has to open a gate to get to the stoop and place the pile under the sign telling him not to he does anyway. The distributor also says that he has the same rights as the post office. I am waiting for his lawyer to contact me because he won't compromise and only leave four. I will be writing back to tell you how it goes. If I have to get signatures, I am getting signatures and sending it to all of the advertizers and let them know who is representing them, and to my elected representative.

Last year we decided to pitch in. We have a website at http://www.StopLawnLitter.org where homeowners can register and get a FREE sign that complies with the letter of the Lawn Litter Law. I've been cleaning this #$%@ from my own steps for years. I never though I'd find relief. Thanks to the Senator I now have a sign on my home and less junk on my steps.

My building is awash in flyers and menus and coupons, inside and out. It gets dangerous because you can slip on them. Does this law also apply to apartment buildings or only single family homes?
