Today marks Nevada's first Graffiti Awareness Day.
Laws are in place putting the responsibility of cleaning up graffiti on businesses and neighborhoods. Clark County spends over $30 million in cleanup efforts.
Some businesses are hit by taggers just as soon as they clean up.
North Las Vegas has an ordinance that awards $250 to information leading to the arrest of a tagger.
Mayor Oscar Goodman has such disdain, he wants their thumbs removed.
Now businesses and neighborhoods will have help by the community, including county leaders and public officials.
Cleanup materials can be picked up this morning until noon at the Hollywood Recreation Center (1650 S. Hollywood Blvd. at Charleston/Sahara) and the West Flamingo Senior Center (6255 W. Flamingo Rd. at Jones/Rainbow).
More information on specific targeted locations is available at the above locations and at (702) 229-2330.
