    Why aren’t they just… Removing them?

    Oh. Its probably because removing them is unnecessarily complicated so they need the company to come do it for them.

      You don’t have to worry about a complicated removal if you have an angle grinder.

      I’ve heard the excuse that they’re private property so they can’t. They’re not hard to remove though. They’re usually just attached to poles with pipe clamps.
