You Can Stop Lawn Litter
There's a web site where you can register to stop all lawn litter fliers and advertising the distributors throw in your yard.
See http://www.stoplawnlitter.org/
The new stop lawn-litter law became effective on January 1st.
I've already registered my home. It was easy and it's completely free.

Many restaurants and bars did not pay attention to the no smoking laws when they were first passed.
Then a couple of places got hit with $10-20-30,000 fines and everyone began complying.
Same thing with lawn litter. The fines apply to the advertisers as well as the distributors and the enlties are per piece of litter! They'll all start abiding the law after Circuit City or another big retailer gets hit with $25,000 in fines.
Just hang in, Rome wasn't built in a day. I suggest you get as many of your neighbors as possible to sign up at StopLawnLitter.org.
The more the better because if it looks like no one cares, nothing will change.

Also the sign from StopLawnLitter.org is self-adhering and waterproof, which beats the paper and scoth tape versions a few other people are handing out.
