I get empty beer bottles and cans!:hs:

at least those are worth a nickle BF
 
to stop the newspapers from being thrown in the yard
install one of those plastic newspaper mailers under your mailbox
for them

since
...it's a federal crime for them to stuff them into your
federally regulated mailbox but not the plastic one...

then at least it won't look so bad like trash on your lawn.

you'll always need something for fish guts :grins:

Who's throwing them in your yard? If it's the newspaper company, call them and tell them to stop. If they don't, save all your papers and junk mail for a month or so and drop it at the front door of their building. Just remove your address label from everything.

About 3 years ago, I got sick of all the unsolicited junk mail I was receiving and I started mailing it back in the postage paid envelopes they provided with nasty notes.

I did that and got a call from some bank down on the cape that if I didn't stop doing it they'd have their lawyers come after me. Course I was loading them down to like 10oz each, musta cost them $20 to get the junk back :hee:

Some moron actually went through the stuff and found something I didn't tear out and reversed my telco number :bshake:

If they got p.o.'d enough to call you and threaten legal action, you made your point to them, Scott. I like your idea of adding extra weight to the packages.
I wonder how much money is wasted and how much extra trash for the landfills are generated from all this unsolicited crapola we get every day.

so, i was taking out my garbage today and I saw the bastard - I ran after his car and pounded on the side to get his attention. He stopped and i said quit throwing those f'in papers in my yard. He said are You..... and it was my name, I told him I never subscribed and to stop. I think I shook him up, I had just had my 2 cups of coffee and was pretty wired. he said he wont deliver any more

your lucky
 
you didn't dent the hell out of his car...
as the sheet metal is so thin now you can dent them
even if you lean on them...

i've been getting credit card offers each week
from the wamu bank down south
but hey i need something to start a fire in the morning
so i don't mind so much :)

i live on a semi busy street and get all kinds of crap in my yard... the worst are scratch tickets. NEVER a winner.

Raven 03-15-2008 09:11 AM

On the back side
 
of every scratch ticket it should be like
a post card ....ya fill it out
sign your "special number "
(so you don't have to sign your signature)
and mail it in postage paid
to win a million bucks

then they'd disappear...

as is ...........

they are as bad as cigarette butts :doh:
