A few good gallons of paint...don't forget the brushes

The City is looking for a few good gallons of paint, and some brushes, for the 2008 Graffiti Wipeout Volunteer Day.

During the paint drive, that kicked off last month, the City is looking to collect a minimum of 2000 gallons of paint. CPS rate paying citizens wanting to help can donate any water-based latex paint suitable for domestic application to the Household Hazardous Waste Drop-off Site (HHW), 7030 Culebra, during their normal business hours Thursdays 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Fridays 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and the first Saturday of the month 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The paint should be in its original container, less than five years old, at least a third full, and in usable condition. All colors is welcome. Paint brushes and other painting supplies are also needed.

The 5th Annual Graffiti Wipeout Day is scheduled for Saturday, September 27 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Last year, more than 2700 people volunteered for the City’s largest volunteer graffiti removal event. During the event, crews are dispersed throughout the city to paint over tagged drainage channels, bridge overpasses, buildings and privacy fences.

For more information on the paint drive or the graffiti wipeout event, call 3-1-1.
