Street Sweeping Process

Every spring, all City streets, sidewalks, multi-use trails and boulevards are cleared of sand and debris that have accumulated over the winter. The City of Beaumont will start street sweeping once the snow has melted and the roads are dry, weather permitting.

The City has measures in place to minimize dust, but street sweepers can still create dusty conditions that reduce visibility. If you see dust, slow down and drive for conditions. We recommend closing windows and walking on alternative sidewalks. Always give our equipment plenty of space - in front, behind and on both sides.

When crews are scheduled to be in your residential area, please move your vehicles off the street so they can do a thorough job. Please refer to the Street Sweeping Schedule for residential sweeping, but if crews are ahead of schedule, sweeping will start in the next neighbourhood early.

During the Street Cleaning process, our crews will push debris onto roads into piles. These piles will remain on the roads until our equipment is in your area to street sweep - could be 1 or 2 weeks.
