Street Sweeping

Importance of Street Sweeping

Spring clean-up operations would not be complete without street sweeping. Street sweeping is not just about keeping roadways clean and clear. There are many other benefits to this seasonal task:

1. Regular cleaning keeps debris & trash from building up. This keeps properties looking great & prevents storm drains from getting clogged and flooding.
    
2. ️Clean & clear pavement protects the public. When street gutters become filled with debris, they can potentially cause vehicles to spin out or collide. Sidewalks filled with debris can be dangerous for pedestrians & cyclists because they may be forced to swerve into the road to avoid big objects, mud, or other trash. Regular sweeping can take care of these safety hazards.
    
3. Regular sweeping prevents harmful bacteria from growing & spreading. Road trash contains organic compounds, a breeding ground for bacteria, which can be dangerous for both humans & animals.
    
4. Street sweeping ultimately protects cars & other vehicles from getting damaged. Gravel, trash, & other debris can be detrimental to tires & undercarriages.
    
5. Pavement that is swept on a regular basis keeps water supplies safe by preventing particulates, trace metals, & other hazardous materials from entering storm drains.
