Illegal Signs

Tired of those unsightly signs you see on utility poles and along public streets? They are nothing but visual clutter advertising everything from weight-loss to home repairs. Well, as long as they’re not on private property, feel free to rip them down, pull them up, and throw them out, because those signs are illegal. You cannot even obtain a permit to post that type of sign.
During our monthly cleanups we usually take them down. The only exception we consider are signs for local yard sales. As long as the date on the sign hasn’t passed, we’ll leave them in place, but if they’ve expired, or there is no date, in the trash they go.
