[RP TownTalk] What is the proper course of action fir a concerned citizen?

[Sue Collins]

Just wondering, is there in fact such a law against these signs?  If so, and maybe I'm being stupid or something, would it not be fairly easy for someone in authority to call the # to set up a meeting or whatever about selling their home, junking their car, etc., and then have the people charged?  Again, just wondering wasn't sure how that would work if the signs ARE illegal.  (but yes, I agree, they're ugly)

The ugly scourge of advertising yard signs is always with us but seems to be on the rise right now. Between home and the Dental Group where I am right now I noticed 2 signs on Queensbury near Lafayette and 3 on Queensbury @Rt 1. The usual "We buy homes" and such.I'm sure if i went out on 410, I'd find more signs on the utility poles as well as yard signs.
Are we within our rights as citizens/neighbors to pick these up and deposit them in the trash? Or should we call Public Works? 
It's such an eyesore that really detracts from the beauty and appeal of or town.
