 STREET SWEEPING

The street sweeping operation begins April 1st and ends December 31st.

Weather permitting, it will be performed on regular solid waste collection day.

To efficiently sweep streets, residents should remove parked vehicles from streets.

Street sweepers remove debris from roadsides and gutters preventing it from going into the storm drains.
Otherwise, the debris in storm drains could cause flooding during heavy rains.
