The pile of papers is growing! City code compliance hasn't fixed the issue.

What I have noticed on Conner Drive that all those wasted newspapers/trees are trashing up our yards, it appears no one is even interested in these "free" newspapers. Please help me to get them to stop polluting our neighborhood! Wasting our precious trees which we need in order to breath! The city hasn't responded at all to my many complaints on this issue!

The City hasn't responded to my cry.

Report your concern using the City's 3-1-1 phone number or free app, not this Web site.

I'm still receiving news papers

Danielle I have called as well as sent in a report to the city of Dallas and nothing has been done for me. That why I took it to this site.

I called the issue in to the city again

Still nothing has been done. Seems like the city has no authority over the newspaper company!

Shari, I'm sorry to hear that the city hasn't been able to help with this matter. We may or may not have jurisdiction, I have no idea since I don't work in Code or the City Attorneys Office.

It is annoying, but instead of 3-1-1 try reporting the matter directly to the Code Compliance department and reporting the person who is throwing the paper as a litterer. Try to get a picture or description of the person, their car or their license plate to share with Code. Again, I don't work in Code so I have no idea of that approach will work or not...but it may be worth a try. You might also try calling the City Attorney's Office to ask if the city can help or not. For Code and the City Attorney's Office dial 214-670-5711 and then follow the prompts.

One (admittedly desperate) thing I did after unsuccessfully asking them to stop was I collected all of the junk newspapers that were placed in my yard by the Dallas Morning News for about six months, then I left them on the front lawn of their offices on Young Street one night. I'm not saying you should do this...but surprisingly I haven't gotten anymore delivered to my house. Good luck!

Danielle

Danielle,
Thank you!! I thought of doing that very same thing (Collecting all of them and returning them back to their rightful owner).
I'll attempt to call the number you gave me. I'll keep you posted, hopefully it will get resolved.
