(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is another in a series of recycling tips from the City of Covington's Neighborhood Services Department, Solid Waste & Recycling Division.)

COVINGTON, Ky. – Some people love the ad “circulars” delivered weekly to their doorstep. After all, they’re chock full of information about stores, sales, and services.

But some people aren’t so fond, and sometimes a house that’s vacant will see the accumulation of a pile of rain-soaked circulars.

Did you know that you can “cancel” or opt out of delivery of these pamphlets?

Here are a couple of ways:

Note that opt-out requests can take up to 6-8 weeks before delivery stops. If the problems persist, email: Cheryl Dettone-White at cmdetton@valassis.com.

(We want to thank Valassis Communications for the information. Valassis delivers the ad circulars for RetailMeNot, a company that maintains a collection of coupon web sites. Local representatives for Valassis have been working diligently with the City of Covington to resolve any problems with the circulars.)
