What’s more annoying than coming home to find your doorstep littered with plastic-encased circulars that are of absolutely no value to you and more or less only create a crapload of waste? Not much. It also gets Planet PLG’s goat: With a sign on every block announcing that the entire neighborhood is zoned for one family houses only you’d think someone would have figured out that there’s no need for three or four dropoffs per residence.” (This what they mean by circular logic? It’s not just a PLG problem, either.) The blog notes that a bill passed last month allows you to stop the circular onslaught by posting a sign on your residence saying the advertisements aren’t welcome. If distributors violate your wishes, they’re looking at a $250 to $1,000 fine. You can also call up the individual companies behind the circulars to get ‘em to stop the madness.
