Huge paint over of graffiti on this local apartment block in an 18th century building. They tried to clean it but the pointing was getting damaged. They paid for the brick paint here and it took several hours to do

This messy carpark in Walsall, West Midlands I've cleaned many times it really needs work on a daily basis really. But it gets 2 weekly cleans as I'm so busy here. It also needs a sweep and scrape but when is the issue, no time

Good luck reaching many on this platform, I litter pick, clean off graffiti, clean signs and weed paths here in Walsall. But for all the effort posting one gets little feedback at all. This platform for all the hype is US centric. We can but try here, I'm a 2022 litter volunteer KBT award winner.

This messy scribble in Walsall was a right eyesore. I don't normally like fence paint/stain it's thin but here it worked well painting over this. #graffitiremoval

For 2024 the numbers are in and I have collected 1203 bags last year. My second biggest year since 2015. I work on the calculation of an average 8kgs per bag probably more. So that's 9624 kgs which is 9.4 UK tons. Then there is all the graffiti cleaned or painted off.

Kiddy scribble, not needed or wanted here in Walsall. Easy to clean off here a zero tolerance is in fact the only way to tackle this

No, these are specific bags supplied to volunteers marked with council logos to put rubbish in that's collected. We used to use clear bags but these are easy to spot for collection
