Things You Can Do to Prevent Graffiti
Report graffiti to the appropriate authorities. Use our graffiti hotline:
303-774-GEAR (4327)
or, our online Graffiti Reporting Form
Quick removal: removing graffiti within 24-48 hours significantly reduces the chances of repeat offenses
Plant trees or other greenery near a graffiti-plagued wall.
Organize a paint-out. Local paint dealers are often willing to donate paint and brushes for volunteers to use for graffiti clean-up.
Plan a paint-brush mural to cover a wall plagued with graffiti.
Coordinate a graffiti awareness campaign at your school or in the community.
Make a presentation on graffiti prevention to your school class or neighborhood group.
"Adopt a wall" at your school or in your community and make sure it stays clean and free of graffiti.
Ask your community to install lighting in areas that are dark and often hit with graffiti.
Visit Graffiti Hurts (an organization dedicated to preventing and removing graffiti) for additional information and helpful hints.
