Graffiti / Garbage Cleanup

HOW TO REPORT

Garbage & Graffiti Cleanup

-You can make a difference-

The City of Portland has programs that assist in the removal of garbage from encampments and graffiti from public spaces.

Choose one of these options to report garbage because of a nearby encampment. Please pick just one option (not all three):

• Campsite Report Form: https://www.portlandoregon.gov/campsites
• PDX Reporter: https://pdxreporter.org and select "Campsite Reporting" from the main menu.
• Calling Information & Referral: 503-823-4000

The report you submit will automatically create a work assignment for a crew to go to the reported location to remove garbage and bio-hazardous materials.

Graffiti removal:

• PDX Reporter: https://pdxreporter.org and select “Graffiti” from the main menu.
• We suggest taking a picture, then go through the website.
• Be sure to use pdxreporter.org for any graffiti on official street signs, do not remove it yourself, you could damage the reflective film on the sign.

OR

• Graffiti may only be removed from the surfaces designated on the visual guide provided by the Graffiti Removal Program. Do not attempt removals on the sidewalk or ground.
