I agree with this issue! And I don't understand how it's not a code violation. They are LITTERING! And for another city issue when all these newspapers aren't picked up they end up IN THE CITY STORM DRAIN! Come on B.A. Get it together and do something about this!

Maybe these neighbors should pick them up and throw them out. This is what I do when trash blows
into my yard.

Well....maybe they should! But, they don't. So should we fill up the Action Center Complaint line with all of the addresses that have newspaper debris all in their yard? Or should the City step in and say this is a code violation that the newspaper delivery people are littering on Citizen's properties with unwanted paper and plastic everywhere. I pick mine up and carry it straight to my recycling container but there are several citizen's that are elderly/handicapped and this is a nuisance to them. And obviously after a quick look on NextDoor and all of the complaints about it and all of the phone calls that have been made to stop the delivery, that is not working. But if I left all of these papers in my yard I'd be reported for trash/debris in my yard. There is enough trash all along the sides of the roads without adding to it for something that has been impossible for the citizen's to opt out of. I understand you're point that people should pick them up and throw them away. But if you take a drive around the neighborhoods there are a lot of people that don't. It's unfortunate. But I'd like to see our City nice and clean without trash floating down the sides of the road and going into the drainage system. Thank you for picking yours up! In a perfect world everyone would.

Why should we have to call to stop something we didn't even ask for? Many have called to stop this and it still continues. So after we have called and it doesn't stop then can we report it as littering?

Is this really the Tulsa World or is it a bag of advertisements? I know the Broken Arrow Ledger used to put out a paper and that stopped. Then for a while I got a bag of mostly ads. Those have stopped too.
Next time you might look really good thru that bag and see if it is a subcontract company delivering them. (Something like a direct mail marketing company?)
If you can find out who is doing them, maybe that is the way to get them to stop.
I feel your frustration. I have a neighbor I have reported many times to Code Enforcement but that
doesn't even help much.
Broken Arrow needs to start doing more CITATIONS rather than just letters.

Good morning, everyone. My office called the Tulsa World to request that delivery of the bags of advertising papers to this street be stopped, and they confirmed. Darren, if it continues, or the materials you are receiving are not from the Tulsa World, please let me know so that we can investigate further. If you have additional questions, feel free to call me at 918-259-8419. Thanks for using the Action Center app! Jennifer H., City Manager's Office
