Graffiti Removal

Broken Windows Syndrome - Broken windows and graffiti are signals of disorder and the decline of controls that prevent depredation of residential and commercial neighborhoods. Service groups have the opportunity to participate in the solution to these issues:

Graffiti Hurts Program

• The Graffiti Hurts program does more than just erase the evidence; it teaches its cause/prevention.
• Art projects, using bright colors and abstract illustrations are designed to hide unsightly boarded-up windows.
• Projects like this help create positive change for an otherwise negative impact on our city.

Recycling

Telephone Book Recycling - this program keeps over 300 tons of old directories from the waste stream annually! Each year, KJB coordinates the Annual Tri-County Telephone Book Recycling Project. Youth groups interested in helping us divert thousands of old directories from the landfill can collect books as a fundraising project. Please call KJB at 601.366.4842 or email us for more info.
