In cooperation with local publishers, the City of Covington now regulates the unwanted tossing of unsolicited printed matter, which often arrives as a "Free" newspaper on residential lawns and driveways.

If you wish to be on this optional "Do Not Toss" list, please submit the required information below to add your residential address to the list, which is  maintained by the City of Covington Council Office.

Frequently Asked Questions:
      Q: How long does it take to stop publications from being tossed?
      A: Before reporting a complaint, please allow forty-five (45) days to fully process your request.

      Q: Why might I still receive unsolicited publications?

b. Attaching it securely to the front door;
c. Putting it through a mail slot on or near the front door;
d. Putting it between the exterior front door and the interior front;
