Graffiti Free Phoenix
The Neighborhood Services Department is always promoting the importance of a graffiti free Phoenix. Individuals, neighborhood and corporate organizations are encouraged to join the city in keeping it blight free. Here's how you can make a difference:
- Volunteer to remove graffiti by hosting a community cleanup.
- Keep your own property free of graffiti.
- Sign up to take a free Neighborhood College workshop and learn how to use a paint sprayer to remove graffiti.
Graffiti is costly and destructive, and sends a message that the community is not concerned about the appearance of its neighborhoods. To help in the effort, the city created the Graffiti Busters Program. You can take control of your neighborhood by quickly removing graffiti. Graffiti Busters crews remove graffiti reported through various ways and also coordinate with other public and private agencies to remove graffiti. Prompt removal reduces the chance of graffiti reappearing and helps maintain a safe, secure and attractive environment.
The goals of the program:
- Support a zero tolerance approach to graffiti in our neighborhoods.
- Reduce the social and economic impact of graffiti on our neighborhoods.
- Enhance the quality of life for residents by reducing blight.
Free paint and supplies will be provided to any group organizing a community cleanup to wipe out graffiti. Help spread the word about this effort! Paint and supples can also be provided at no cost. For more information or to request graffiti-removal supplies, call 602-534-4444.
