DIVISION 7. DISTRIBUTION OF UNSOLICITED HANDBILLS UPON PRIVATE PREMISES
The county council finds that unwanted and unsolicited handbills are often left on private premises. These handbills create a litter problem when they are carried or deposited by the elements onto streets, sidewalks, and other public and private areas. In addition, the county finds that an accumulation of unsolicited handbills can be a signal to burglars and vandals that a residence is unoccupied.
