Nothing spoils a nature walk like graffiti painted or scraped into a rock wall or natural feature and the County of Los Angeles is attempting to do something about it.

The Board of Supervisors will provide graffiti removal services in the zero-tolerance areas of Acton, Agua Dulce, Fair Oaks, Sand Canyon and Vasquez Rocks, under a one-year contract with Superior Property Services, Inc., announced Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich.

To report graffiti, the public is encouraged to contact the County’s graffiti removal hotline at (800) 675-HELP available 24 hours a day, seven days a week or the website: http://ladpw.org/itd/dispatch/publicgraffiti/.

Graffiti is removed within 48 hours of notification, Monday through Friday in county rights-of-way, flood control channels, and private property in designated zero tolerance zones.
