Why wasn't street sweeping completed in front of my house?

Flyer about the importance of pruning vegetation for street sweepersThere are many reasons why the sweeper may not have been able to remove debris from your street. Most often, it is due to items blocking the roadway such as: 

  • Basketball Hoops
  • Bicycles
  • Cars
  • Refuse Containers
  • Toys

Vehicles parked too close to each other for the sweeper to maneuver between them is another cause.

Vegetation

Low-hanging trees and shrubs can also prevent sweepers from cleaning in front of your house. If this is a problem in front of your home, please prune back the vegetation and branches so that the sweeper will not hit or run into it. Vegetation should be pruned to no less than 10 feet above the street areas. If this presents an issue, you may receive a door tag similar to the one pictured.
