About the Street Sweeper

The street sweeper is vacuum-powered. It can collect dirt, gravel, litter or small amounts leaves or grass clippings, which can pass under the vacuum head.

The sweeper cannot handle large piles of grass clippings, garden debris, vines, sticks, or brush since these materials will clog the intakes and damage the machinery. These materials should be separated and placed out for yard waste collection or delivered to the Public Works Drop-Off.

Parking
