Signs From Yesterday
Dear Heloise: The GARAGE-SALE SEASON is almost in full swing now. I get very excited to see a garage-sale sign on the side of the road. Of course, I have to turn the car around just to take a peek and see if I can find that one great deal of the day.
What I don't like is turning my car around to find the house and realizing that the sign is an old one from days, weeks or months prior. I see this all the time during the summer -- old garage-sale signs left lying on the side of the road. This is considered littering, and it is harmful to the environment. It also is a waste of my time and gas. Please remind your readers if they have a garage sale to please dispose of their sign when their sale is over. This would save the environment, time and gas. -- Garage Saler, Casnovia, Mich.
This is a common complaint from my readers.
In many areas, it's also a violation to not remove the signs after the event is over. Hopefully, people will take heed and take down the signs! -- Heloise
