The ‘Neighbors’ paper, which is owned by the Wichita Eagle, has been delivered to the streets of Augusta Kansas for quite some time now. Numerous citizens have called to request the paper no longer be delivered to their homes on multiple occasions, and yet the paper is still delivered. As Augusta residents, we have begged for the delivery of this paper to cease yet every week it is found littered in the yards, streets, and gutters of our homes. We are not requesting the publication of this paper to cease, we are stating that we should have the right to decide what is or is not delivered to our residence. We also believe that it is a waste of funds, and resources to deliver a paper to a city that not only does not want the paper delivered but throws the paper away, or recycles it at the earliest convenience without ever opening it to read.
We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge the producers and/or those in charge of the ‘Neighbors’ publication to cease delivery to individual residences. As an alternative option, we offer that you display your publication in grocery stores and supermarkets such as Wal-Mart and Dillons.

The Wichita Eagle continues to ignore our requests while our streets remain covered in unwanted paper. Email their circulation department today to demand they stop delivering to Augusta residents. Forward this link to your neighbors so we can show them how many of us want this litter gone.

The momentum is building because we are finally forcing this conversation into the light. Tell your neighbor to email the Wichita Eagle publisher today and demand they stop dumping this unwanted paper in our yards.

This newspaper creates a safety issue for my family. We travel a lot and coming back after 3 weeks and seeing these in the driveway tells burglars that I am not home.
please stop delivering the neighbors paper. I subscribe to the newspaper and do not appreciate the delivery of the neighbors paper - as it is tossed in the ditch or the side of the road even though I have a Wichita Eagle tube for paper placement. I did not request it's delivery and would like it to stop
My parents are 86 years old and it's difficult for them to collect these unwanted papers to throw them away. I've call multiple times to opt out. Just stop!
SIGNED...... If this is an unwanted publication by the residents of Augusta and it is trashing up the streets and sidewalks it should stop. like many have said there's no reason there can't be a distribution point at Dillons, Walmart, the convenient stores, etc. We would be happy to have a rack at our office/facility.
Never read it. I immediately pick it up off the driveway and put it in my recycle bin. Such a waste of resources. When I walk my dog in my neighborhood these papers are in the street, in yards, and in the gutters. Most people don't bother even disposing of them. The wind and rain carry them away and litter the city.
I've contacted Eagle neighbor and mand request TWICE to stop delivery. NO RESPONSE and I still get the Neighbors Eastand Sunday Select advertisements LITTERING my lawn!!!
stop making newspapers! paperless newspaper is good.

I am handicapped and unable to pick up these papers without assistance. I have tried in the past to stop delivery, and yet as soon as the "paper boy" changes, they start right back up again. This is a nuisance to the public, and should carry the same penalty as littering...per incident.
