Why Street Sweeping?
In major urban areas, street sweeping allows for the collection and removal of litter, leaves, and other visible debris that gather in the gutters. This debris can block storm drain facilities, causing localized flooding during heavy rains. Not to mention the aesthetic clean up of the city streets and parking lots.
An equally important, but less visible benefit of street sweeping is the removal of metal particles and other hazardous waste products left by passing vehicles. Although they are virtually invisible, these particles can be extremely harmful to fish and other wildlife if they reach our creeks.
Most cities maintain a street sweeping program (whether it is contracted out or kept in-house) to comply with provisions of the federally mandated Clean Water Act. Street sweeping serves as a key part of the city's commitment to protect and restore local creeks, hence to help protect downstream water quality. Almost every city conducts some sort of street sweeping program.
