Why aren’t newspapers that throw out unrequested copies in yards charged with littering?

I didn’t ask for this plastic bagged wrapped bundle of newspaper to be thrown into my yard. Why do those companies get a pass?
And now there are untold numbers of new plastic bags in the environment.
Or maybe this doesn’t happen where you live which is great.

You could likely get an injunction to make it stop, but you’re the only one.

It's usual and customary.
Get over it, gramps.

You think of/ask a bunch of strange questions. However, I kind of agree with you here. I hate those dumbass papers and all I do is throw them in the recycling.

I told the times if they threw another paper in my yard I was filing a police report and they stopped.

The police should laugh at you.
Also the bags aren't recyclable anymore.

Not sure how high it went but it was determined to be legal. I imagine shite lobbyists to some degree pushed heavy to get the ruling they wanted. I don't know why anyone would pay to advertise in those things. Don't know one person that reads them.

Throw it in their yard.

The paper is free and has great coupons.
Tell me, does your paper have any Great Coupons?

Why isn't it littering when an eighteen wheeler tire explodes on the interstate and they just leave it there?

State Law allows it. As previously mentioned, probably the newspaper lobby from way-back.
City of Covington has a link on its website where you can opt-out. We provide the list of non-delivery addresses to the newspapers, who then complied. After the TP and the Advocate merged, they stopped complying. We re-sent the list of "opt-outs" to them with a friendly reminder. We're waiting to see if that works.
Encourage your Council to adopt a similar ordinance. It's popular and should be an easy one to get through.

Give it a few years and it will stop on its own . The physical newspaper medium will soon be extinct.

Thank you. I’ve said this for years

We don't get any newspapers thrown in our yard, but we do get a giant obsolete phone book every 6 months or so that's pretty much the same thing.
