This street's story: Removal gets easier the sooner it starts, because paint bonds harder to a surface the longer it sits.

The case we sent

Report details · AI-written, reviewed by the reporter

A public trash/recycling bin at 250 Dundas Street West has red spray-paint graffiti on its front panel and a visibly bent lid with exposed interior damage. The bin remains functional but requires graffiti removal and structural repair to restore it to service condition.
