How Does Street Sweeping Keep Our Creeks Clean?

Clean Streets mean Clean Creeks. Local Ordinances require you to keep your sidewalks and curb and gutter clean of any trash or debris, including leaves and yard waste. Place collected materials in the appropriate bin provided by your waste hauler. Most municipalities support residents and businesses with this lift by sweeping public streets at least once per month.

On Street Sweeping Day

Park your vehicle in the driveway, garage or another area on your sweep day. Keeping the path next to the curb and gutter clear is an easy way to prevent trash, debris, and other pollutants from entering your local creek.

And

Maintain the trees, shrubs and other landscaping in front of your house. Sweeper’s are tall and wide, and they need all the room they can get in order to clean the curb properly. Providing a 13-foot high clearance and preventing overgrowth into the public right of way is a requirement.
