Spring
is here, and soon, the street sweepers will be too! Denver’s residential street
sweeping season begins Tuesday, April 4 and lasts until November. Denver
Public Works is reminding residents to remember to move their vehicles on their
street sweeping day, so crews can sweep all the way to the curb line and
provide the best service possible! Denver’s street sweeping program removes
dirt and debris off the streets, so it stays out of our air and water.
Residents
are urged to follow the red and white signs posted on the block for
street sweeping parking restrictions to avoid getting a ticket. Even if it
appears a sweeper has cleaned the street, it’s still important to not park
during the restricted times posted, as the sweeper may need to return to the
area to make another pass.
Helpful
ways to remember street sweeping day:
- Denver residents can sign up for reminders through Pocketgov, the City’s mobile web application. After creating a simple user profile, residents can receive both email and text notifications.
- Call 311 to request “no parking” sticker reminders for a calendar.
Last
year, Denver Public Works Street Maintenance crews swept 143,112 lane miles and
collected 62,848 cubic yards of dirt and debris.
