Street Sweeping
The City of Rochester operates a fleet of six street sweepers that are responsible for cleaning the 500+ mile network of city streets. The fleet sweeps approximately 9,500 miles every year. Sweepers clean the Central Business District nightly and are out in the spring and fall. In the spring, sweepers are out collecting sand and other sediments that accumulated in over the winter. In the fall, sweepers are collecting sediments and leaves. During the fall it is most efficient for the fleet to sweep leaves once they are all off the trees so they don’t have to visit each area of town multiple times.
Street sweeping is completed each spring and fall on a neighborhood-by-neighborhood basis. Requests for service may be submitted and will be added to our list; however, sweeping is generally performed once crews are working in the area. Outside of spring and fall, additional requests are prioritized and completed as time and resources allow.
