This year's Graffiti Removal Day is on October 26 and will see the two groups join forces with Wollongong council and the NSW government to remove graffiti.
Dapto Rotary Club spokesman Mick Chamberlain said the aim of the day was to highlight the graffiti problem.
"Graffiti vandalism is a major problem which costs local businesses and households, NSW government and Wollongong council millions of dollars each year," he said.
"Graffiti Removal Day provides a great opportunity for individuals, community groups, sporting clubs, businesses and other organisations to join the fight against graffiti and make a real difference to the appearance of our local community."
