In 1998, a small group of neighborhood service
workers was developed to quickly and efficiently
respond to community requests regarding Quality of
Life issues. This group of 34 employees was later
renamed the Litter Busters and Graffiti Busters.
By
2007, the Litter Busters had increased to 40
workers, and have become an important component
in the operations of each NET Office.
Consequently, their title was officially changed
to Neighborhood Service Workers (NSW's), which
also included the efforts and contributions of
the Graffiti Busters. Each NET office is
assigned two NSW's, and the remaining workers
address quality of life issues city-wide.
They continue to work tirelessly to reduce
the effects of graffiti, illegal dumping and
homeless encampments throughout the City of Miami.
When needed, the NSW's are able to quickly
respond to cut and maintain grassy areas, and remove
debris on the public right-of-way. In addition,
they assist the Neighborhood Enhancement
Team (NET) in landscaping mini parks and public
rights-of-way, as well as provide support for
beautification projects and community events
throughout the City.
The
Graffiti Removal Team removes graffiti from the public
right-of-way in the City of Miami. In addition, they also pressure clean assigned areas such
as sidewalks and other public spaces in anticipation
of special events that are held throughout the City.
The mission of the NSW's and Graffiti Removal Team is to promote a cleaner environment for the
City of Miami and to improve the quality of life for
all Miami residents and business persons.
The NSW office is located at 1490 NW 3rd Avenue,
Suite 111, Miami, Florida 33136. (305) 960-4NET.
Q: How can citizens report a complaint?
A: To report garbage or graffiti within the
City of Miami, call or stop by your local NET
office and file a complaint. |
