Street Sweeping Begins Friday, April 1st
Chicago utilizes mechanical street sweepers to remove debris and litter from streets. From April 1st through mid-November, bright orange temporary parking restrictions are posted the day before sweeping service is scheduled to begin on any street to ensure curb-to-curb cleaning. Some arterial streets have permanently posted signs that specify a once-per-week period when parking is prohibited for street sweeping.
Residents can view street sweepers in real time using the Sweeper Tracker online tool.  Click the following links for street sweeping schedules and maps, and to make a street sweeping request. You can also request for your street to be swept by calling 311.
