Kiwanis Club Volunteers for Graffiti Clean-Up in Dixon

The Dixon Police Department announced Tuesday that the City of Dixon and the Kiwanis Club of Dixon have teamed up to fight against the existence of graffiti.

 Dixon property owners will now have the assistance of the Dixon Graffiti Abatement Program to quickly remove graffiti from their properties at no cost, said officials.  

"It is proven that the quick removal of graffiti often leads to a reduction in having that same area tagged again," the department said.  

"The focus of the program was developed so that a team of volunteers can abate the graffiti as soon as it’s been reported."

All volunteers for the program are members of the Kiwanis Club, a global organization dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time.  

If you wish to participate in the abatement program and become a Kiwanis volunteer, contact Matt Swanson at (530) 219-4558.  

The program is possible due to volunteers, donated supplies from property owners and Recology, a donation to Kiwanis by Richland Communities Inc., police added.   

The first Kiwanis effort is planned for Saturday at the sound wall facing I-80 and Cattlemens Restaurant, police said.  

Dixon property owners needing to remove graffiti from their properties must submit a Right of Entry, Release of Liability and Hold Harmless Agreement to the Code Compliance Division.  

Forms are available at the Police Department front desk or may be mailed by contacting the Code Division at (707) 678-7070.

To report any graffiti you may see within Dixon city limits please contact Solano Dispatch at (707) 678-7080.
