Handbills & Flyers

Students tend to leave them behind
The handbills thus becomes litter
It is illegal to litter on campus property
The organization whose name is on the handbill/flyer will be deemed responsible for the litter

Illegal and excessive posting results in litter on campus and increases the work load of our Grounds laborers, who have to remove postings and restore the natural features to their original state.
