Truegreen lawn signs ect

I have been picking these signs up off of the property as I service the lawns. The usual pest signs from all different companys. The problem is at the end of the week I can have over 50 of these signs filling up my garabge can. You guys pick them up or just weed eat around them? I left one at my customers property to see if they would pick it up. Nope. They let it sit in their yard for 6 weeks until i just decided to just throw it out.

I think you answered your own question. If a customer doesn't or can't cut thier own yard why are they going to pick up that sign? Your hired to take care of the lawn, including debris on the lawn.

Yep I consider it debris, must be thrown away! The only sign I want in my yards is my own.

I have a neighbor that wants to keep the lawns signs in the ground all the time on her property. She wants to let people know that her lawn looks good because xxx company did it. She is happy with her pest company and wants to show it.

If you like and support the companies work, leave them, as I know they cost money. If you do not care for their work....maybe leave them too for others to see their work.

You may think the grass is GREENER on the other side, but if you take the time to water your own grass it would be just as GREEN.
