Street Sweeping

Sand and debris are swept from City roads during the spring and summer to keep streets and sewers clean. This prevents materials from clogging the storm sewers, and provides a safe and clean driving surface.

During the Spring Sweeping Program; salt, sand, and debris accumulated over the winter season are swept from all City of Brampton streets. The Spring Sweeping program includes:

All City-owned roads with a top coat of asphalt, including bridges, catch basins and gutters.
Hard-surfaced boulevards and medians.
Sidewalks and walkways plowed by the City during the winter.
Parking lots at City of Brampton Recreation Centres and other City facilities.
Country roads without curbs are flushed and/or swept as required.

Resident Notice

Keep vehicles off the street to avoid obstructing the operations and allowing the sweeper to sweep the roadway from curb to curb.
Place garbage containers and recycling boxes far enough from the roadway on collection days.
