Street Sweeping
Keeping Streets Clean
Street sweeping helps remove debris that collects in the gutters and blocks storm drain inlets. When storm drain inlets are blocked, flooding of the street can occur. Street sweeping also helps remove heavy metals on the street, which would otherwise wash into the drainage system and eventually into our creeks and bay.
Please help keep our streets clean by not raking, piling, or blowing debris, leaves, or tree branches into the street or the storm drain systems. Place your leaves and yard trimmings in the container provided by your garbage collector. On the days of your scheduled street sweeping, park your vehicles off the street so that the street sweeper can get access to the gutter pan and adjacent pavement. If you need an additional yard waste container contact West Valley Collection and Recycling at (408)283-8500.
