Richfield City Corporation The only place Richfield residents are allowed to post yard sale signs, from now on, is on the new sign in front of NAPA Auto Parts on Main Street.
Dear Friends:
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. I love yard sales! Where else can you find a gently used velvet masterpiece depicting dogs playing poker? Seriously, yard sales are a great tradition in our area, and serve the worthy purpose of connecting buyers and sellers of used items..
There’s one thing, however, that I definitely don’t like about yard sales. It’s the stapling, taping, and otherwise attaching of signs to virtually every possible flat or not-so-flat surface in our community. It’s unsightly, it’s damaging, it’s a safety hazard, and it’s against the law. And Richfield City is doing something about it!
With the great cooperation of our friends at NAPA Auto Parts, the City has placed a large sign on the corner of Main Street and 300 South. It’s marked off in a grid to accommodate 8 ½” x 11” signs. The Richfield Reaper has also graciously agreed to post their yard sale advertisements on this sign each week.
By providing this organized posting location, we hope to give buyers and sellers the convenience of a one-stop connection point. The new sign is positioned so folks can even snap a smart phone photo of the week’s postings without getting out of their car!
Please take note that this location will be the only place to post yard sale signs in Richfield. Signs will not be allowed on any other public property, including light poles, power poles, stop signs, etc. When signs are found in those places, they will be removed. Any future damage to these facilities from the illegal posting of signs will be charged to those responsible.
Let’s all get together and make this work! Our community will look better, and everyone will still be able to enjoy the yard sale tradition.
