City of Miami - Neighborhood Enhancement Teams

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.

The Litter Buster team works tirelessly to reduce the effects of graffiti, illegal dumping and homeless encampments throughout the City of Miami. When needed, the Litter Busters are able to quickly respond to cut and maintain grassy areas, and remove debris on the public right-of-way. In addition, Litter Busters 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.

Graffiti Busters remove graffiti from the public right-of-way in the City of Miami. The Graffiti Buster team also pressure cleans assigned areas such as sidewalks and other public spaces in anticipation of special events that are held throughout the City.

The mission of the Litter Busters and Graffiti Busters 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 Litter and Graffiti Busters is located in a central location adjacent to the Miami Homeless Assistance Program (MHAP) Offices (779 West Flagler Street).
