Spring street sweeping program underway

The City of Thorold’s spring street sweeping program is well underway. We have completed Areas 1 and 2 and are currently on Area 3 of seven areas.

Street sweeping helps to keep our city streets clean and free of dirt and debris. The City typically begins its annual street sweeping program every spring after the last major snowfall.

Where will the street sweeping be happening?
The City performs street sweeping on a neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood basis, sectioned into seven areas total.
The City has begun sweeping area three of seven this week.
