"No Flyers" sign helps keep your stoop or doorway clean
Posted: July 17, 2008
The Prospect Heights Neighborhood Development Council has created a sign to discourage the distribution of unwanted flyers and menus. The sign can be affixed to a door or laminated and attached to a fence.
PHNDC is working to make laminated versions available in local stores in the fall.
PHNDC's "No Flyer" sign is not technically compliant with the state anti-flier law, which requires that the sign be at least 5" x 7 ", use letters one inch high, and use specific wording. A flyer that meets the specifications of the anti-flyer law will be made available here shortly.
