The Benefits of Street Sweeping

Reducing trash and pollution particulates from entering our Stormwater System and harming our waterways such as the Tualatin River.
Keeping the roadway safe for all vehicles, bicyclists, and roadway users.

Tips for assisting our crew in providing optimal sweeping service:

Remove garbage cans, yard debris receptacles, and recycling carts, from the street once trash is collected.
Do not place basketball hoops in the street.
Park vehicles in the driveway or garage.
Do not blowing yard clippings, or sweeping debris, into the street.
Trim or remove any vegetation, including trees, within or extending over the street, interfering with the use of the sidewalk or roadway, or obstructing a driver's view.
Trim trees to a minimum clearance of 13 to 15 feet above the sidewalk. Bushes, shrubbery, and other vegetation may not overhang the sidewalk or roadway. For more information please see our roadside vegetation page .
