Our ongoing graffiti removal program is designed for business improvement districts, civic associations and developers who want to see graffiti in their section of Philadelphia kept to a minimum. We remove graffiti, posters and stickers from city street fixtures within a defined area on an agreed upon interval.
Graffiti in any city center is an inevitability and as a result many see attempts at reducing visible levels as either futile or too expensive. There is a large part of the population that supports graffiti as an art form and pushback from this community can make it even more difficult to manage levels of graffiti effectively.
As a result, graffiti sits and accumulates and will lead to an unconscious sense of unease and concern for safety for those surrounded by it. To attract workers, tourists and area visitors, it must feel safe, and graffiti does not tend to make an area feel secure. This is a situation that we can remedy, with unparalleled results.
Graffiti attracts graffiti, and every surface is part of this urban canvas for graffiti artists. Most popular are street fixtures such as trashcans, light-posts, control boxes and street signs. When these fixtures are overcrowded with graffiti, posters and stickers the canvas expands to include private property and its removal adds to the cost of living or doing business in Philadelphia
We take a unique approach to ongoing graffiti removal that is proactive rather than reactive and as a result, we can clear an entire City Street of all street fixture graffiti in a defined geographic location in a day. Another street the following day and so forth. Will graffiti reoccur after we are done? Of course, which is why within 3 weeks we are back again to clear those fixtures again, however at much lower levels.
After three to four months of our ongoing removal program, Private property vandalism will start to decrease as graffiti writers have space available again on street fixture surfaces. Philadelphia’s street fixtures become an open canvass for graffiti, with any instance of graffiti having a maximum lifespan of 3 weeks.
Artistic expression can occur, visible graffiti can be managed, and private property vandalism can be reduced all at the same time by providing the “open canvas” of Philadelphia’s street fixtures for this type of expression.
