Task Force Tackles Graffiti and Litter!

Now there are three NEW ways to report graffiti and litter issues in the community: Telephone, Quick-Form and Email. Report the Crime - get a dime! Either way you report it, make sure to include as much information as possible: location, type of issue, colors, tag name and upload a picture, possible.

1. Telephone: Call 800.311.1493 - use this number to report all graffiti: simply say the name of the agency you believe is responsible: City of San Rafael, ATT, Comcast, or PGE and you will be forwarded to the correct voicemail. If you don't know who should get the call, just say "graffiti", leave all the location details and your return number and we will take it from there.

2. Quick-Form - if you really care about making sure we know about the graffiti, then you can add it on our new interactive map. Simply type in all of the details and we will receive time-stamped alerts. This enables you to track completion from the comfort of your own computer! www.srtaskforce.org

3. Email: Send all of the details to info@SRtaskForce.org This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
