Street Sweeping:

2006 STREET SWEEPING GUIDELINES

Working Together To Be The Pollution Solution

Street sweeping will make a clean sweep to protect the Pine River

One of the best ways to prevent pollutants from entering the Pine River is to remove them from streets before rain carries them into the storm drain and the watershed. In recent months, the City has stepped up street-sweeping efforts, and the results have been tremendous. In 2005 a new Street Sweeper was purchased and has recebtly been received. During the Highway 80 construction the City rented an additional unit due to the fact that the City’s older sweeper was not servicable.

Sweeping during the month collects debris of ___ tons.

Rather than create mandatory no-parking zones, the City has asked residents not to park on their streets during street-sweeping days, generally the day after trash collection. The City also has produced street sweeping reminders that will be placed on cars blocking the sweeping of streets.

This reminder explains the importance of street sweeping and also reminds residents of the day and time sweeping occurs on their street. The City hopes that these notices will encourage voluntary cooperation and eliminate the need for mandatory no-parking signs on streets.

To find out the day and time your street will be swept select the map located to the left on this page. You will find the day and two-hour time zone that your street is swept.
