Street Sweeping FAQ
Read why Albany has institued the street sweeping program
In October 2005 the City of Albany began a monthly residential sweeping program.
In an urban area like the City of Albany, street sweeping
allows for the collection and removal of litter, leaves, and
other visible debris that gather in the gutters. This debris
can block storm drain facilities, causing localized flooding
during heavy rains.
An equally important, but less visible benefit of street sweeping
is the removal of metal particles and other hazardous
waste products left by passing vehicles. Although they are
virtually invisible, these particles can be extremely harmful
to fish and other wildlife if they reach our creeks, and the
San Francisco Bay.
Street sweeping serves as a key part of the City’s
commitment to protect and restore local creeks and to help
protect downstream water quality in the San Francisco Bay.
