What else can I do to help fight graffiti?
The Solid Waste Management's Department offers a number of services and programs to help the community in the fight against graffiti. Prior to the formation of Graffiti Removal program, graffiti vandalism was a blight on our city. Now, through a combination of graffiti removal, enforcement of anti-graffiti laws, community education, and strong public support, graffiti vandalism is under control.
The Graffiti Removal program's success is due in part to an efficient, computerized routing system that targets high-risk areas for daily graffiti checks. The 311 Citizen Contact Center allows residents to report graffiti sightings anywhere with the city limits. Graffiti removal crews then respond with state-of-the-art equipment to remove or paint over the graffiti.
The on-going success of the City of Albuquerque's Graffiti Removal Services has earned the program the honor of being selected for "Best Practice" recognition by the U.S. Conference of Mayors.
