Did you know the City of Sylvester has a littering ordinance to help protect our environment from unsightly litter? One of our concerns is for the signs which people place out along our right of ways to advertise yard sales, bake sales, car washes and other activities they wish to promote for free…
Those signs left in the city right of ways, and on poles are considered litter and LITTERING is a Crime!
Sec. 47-2. – Purpose and intent.
The purpose of this article is to protect the public health, safety, environment, and general welfare through the regulation and prevention of litter. The objectives of this article are to:
