New York – Menu littering is a huge problem in New York City. The increasingly competitive takeout and delivery industry hires their delivery guys during off hours to foist menus under the doors of apartment dwellers. It is now routine to come home to a pile of duplicate menus on my door mat — not only annoying but a total waste of paper. Moreover, buildings routinely get fined by the city’s department of sanitation if the menus are left near the front door of the building.

After a failed attempt by City Council member Simcha Felder to pass legislation banning the practice and suggesting a $50 fine, one creative individule decided to to start promoting his own solution: a simple bumper sticker that uses a helpful diagram to warn trespassers that fingers will be crushed if menus are put under the door. The guy claims on his web site that its has actually made a huge difference in reducing the number of menus arriving at my house.
