Street Sweeping

Street Sweeping

Our Public Works staff help to keep our City streets clean and free of dirt and debris. The City typically begins the annual street sweeping program every spring after the last major snowfall.

The City performs street sweeping on a neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood basis, sectioned into 7 areas total. Each area takes approximately 14 business days to complete. The City’s street cleaning staff operate from Mondays to Fridays between 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

When street sweeping measures are underway, updates will be provided on City social media at Facebook, and Instagram. Residents are also encouraged to subscribe to our website alerts to receive updates directly to their inbox.

The City’s street sweeping program operates from spring through to fall:

• Twice in the spring/summer, shortly after winter  
• Twice in the summer/fall, generally around mid-October after the leaves have fallen
• Throughout the summer as needed

How can residents help?

• Avoid parking on the road when your area is scheduled for sweeping
• Avoid placing garbage and recycling bins on the road, and bring bins in as soon as possible after they have been picked up
