Sweeping Seasons
Every public street within the city is swept at least once a month during the months of February through October. During Storm Season, each street is swept twice a month. The Storm Season schedule runs from November through January.The extra sweeps help prevent flooding by keeping gutters and drains flowing smoothly.
We appreciate your help in keeping Citrus Heights streets clean and free of litter and debris!
Dos & Don'ts
Here are a few tips to help get the most from our street sweeping work:
- DON'T rake leaves into piles in the street - piles can clog gutters and drains, and may result in flooding during heavy rains. (Piles also become road hazards and cannot be swept by the street sweeper.)
- DO - use your green waste or composting containers for leaf recycling.
- DO - keep lawns, driveways, streets and sidewalks clear of leaves.
- DO - keep trees and shrubs trimmed so that they do not obstruct the sweeper.
- DO - keep basketball hoops out of the street and gutters.
