The info is on one of the pages of the paper.

As for the OP - there's no reason why you can't be that good neighbor, if you truly care about their homes' safety ("That paper sitting in a driveway for weeks shows who is home and who isn’t")... and pick up those papers from the driveways and either toss them or put them on their lanai, front porch, or even take them home and save them for the neighbor(s).

Meanwhile, anyone who gets them should know they can cease delivery any time they want, as this is a notification in every single one of those papers every month.

If you don't mow your lawn you will be definitely getting a fine. Do you really believe if this trash isn't picked up and left laying in the driveway or yard that the this would be overlooked?

Have you any evidence of anyone, since the inception of the POA newsletter how many years ago, being reprimanded for not removing the paper from their driveway?

We'll wait while you call Community Standards and get back to us on that.

Why don’t you go and pick up all them? Easy to tell someone else to do it. I’m tired of picking them up, I don’t blame people for being mad.

Not fined.

How do you go about canceling it? I never read it and it usually sitting on my driveway for a couple of day before I realize it's there. It's a good advertisement for thieves to know no one is home.

My neighbors are nice enough to pick ours up. Why do you let your neighbor’s blow away or go down the sewer?

They have to guarantee the advertisers what the circulation is and that's the only way they can do it. If they just put it in a rack nobody really knows how many people get it. Not that anyone actually has to read it

Maybe they should be all picked up and thrown at the door of the news Outlet

Some of us prefer to pick it up at 5am in our driveway, rather than walk/drive to postal station. The paper will stop delivery for a day at a time if notified by phone or email.

Why do you want to restrict everyone because a few forget to notify the paper?

Always something. Simply call POA and stop delivery.

Default POA delivery in your driveway

There is a simple way to stop delivery in your driveway. Email them and ask to be on their "snowbird" list. Give them your away dates and the delivery will stop while you are gone. Or, you can ask that it be delivered by email, and you will permanently stop throwing it in your driveway.
Your neighbors who receive it while they are away have not done that. There is no way for the delivery person to know they are gone. You can suggest to your neighbors that they also inform them of their away dates.
