Street Cleaning
Street cleaning is conducted from April 2 - Nov 30, 2012 to eliminate litter, debris, and leaves from the streets. Street sweeping is also a cost effective way to collect any pollutants that are on the street before they wash into the storm sewer system, rivers and lakes.
Signs are posted along each street that indicate which day sweeping will occur for the different sides of the street.
