The Sustainable Flatbush blog has a piece on New York's new No Lawn Litter Law, an alliterative piece of legislation that is aimed to stop the accumulation of menus, handbills, circulars, fliers and the like outside of your home. The full text of the law can be seen here, but basically what it means is that if you put up a sign saying you don't want unsolicited advertising material on your property, they are supposed to stop leaving stuff. If they don't comply you fill out a complaint form and the offenders are subject to fines.
The city has a free downloadable sign here (pdf) and the complaint forms here.  Note: If you live in a multiple family dwelling, like an apartment building, you have to get the owner's permission to put up the sign, and they have to fill out the complaint forms. —Mikki Labels: environment litter activism

We have been watching and waiting For Senator Padavan’s lawn litter law to pass for years. 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.
Thanks for your work on this issue! Readers should note, though, that the sign I linked to is free and does not require registration, so that is the one I recommend people use. (Or you can make your own.)
My landlady was enthusiastic when I called her about this, our sign is going up today!
