Pollution of environment with chemical substances had received some attention while not much had been done in the area of visual pollution. This paper examined ways by which posters and billboards have impacted negatively on Nigerian’s urban environment. The study area covered three (3) senatorial districts of Ondo State – Okitipupa, Igbokoda, Ondo, Akure, Owo and Ikare-Akoko. These towns served as melting points for socio-economic and political activities of their LGAs. Information on sources of posters, target areas for displaying posters, conditions for removal of posters after use, effectiveness of posters in conveying the desired messages, people’s perception on its adequacy constitute the information gathered through Questionnaire. The result showed that the highest generator of visual pollution are the politicians which accounted for 45% of the total waste and followed by churches/mosques (21%), Entertainment industries (13%), Education (11%) and industries/Companies (10%). In terms of spatial location, the city centre attracted the highest number of posters with 39%, while other junctions attract 22%, bus stop with 16%, school vicinity with 15% and church/mosques vicinity with 8%. Posters and banners have been found to impede visibility especially around city junctions and in some cases led to accidents. Indiscriminate display of posters reduces the aesthetic value of cities and constitutes irritation to visitors. The paper made some recommendation to city managers.
