Street Sweeping FAQs
If you have questions or concerns about street sweeping, you may contact Athens Services at(805) 852-5264 or submit a concern through the City's online service request system.
There are several reasons why the sweeper may not have been able to remove debris from your street. Most often, it is because items such as cars, bicycles, toys, basketball hoops, and refuse containers are blocking the roadway. Vehicles parked too close to each other for the sweeper to maneuver between them are another cause. Low-hanging trees and shrubs can also prevent sweepers from cleaning in front of your home.

Keep the roadway in front of your house free of parked vehicles and other large objects and obstructions for best results. We ask residents to follow these guidelines:
- Remove any vehicle parked on the street. Any vehicle (car, truck, boat trailer or recreational vehicle) parked on the street prevents the sweeper from reaching the curb lane where debris accumulates. To report abandoned vehicles on public streets, call (805) 371-8379.
- Keep large debris out of the road. Large sticks, branches, and pine needles will clog and jam the sweepers' operating systems.
- No waste containers in the street during sweep day. The Municipal Code does not allow garbage, recycling, and green waste containers to be placed in the street before 4:00 p.m. the day before pickup. Containers should be retrieved and stored out of the public’s view by 8:00 a.m. the day after collection. Like parked vehicles, the waste containers prevent the sweeper from reaching the curb. Street sweeping follows waste collection by one working day.
- Do not rake, blow or pile up leaves in the street.Street sweeping is intended to clean what naturally is present on the street. Too often, residents or their gardeners will blow all of the grass cuttings, leaves, dirt and small branches from pruning into the street. The sweeper cannot pick up large loads and debris will be left for you to remove.
- Please place leaves and other landscape waste in your green waste container.
Sweeping services are performed on the day following the holiday (just like waste collection services) in cases where holidays fall on regularly scheduled street sweeping days. Please refer to the Street Sweeping schedules above for a complete list of street sweeping dates.
