Starting today, Monday, October 20th the City of Santa Clarita will begin increasing the frequency of street sweeping throughout all areas of the City. Previously, areas were swept every other week, but will now be swept on a weekly basis during the Fall. The street sweeping will return to the bi-weekly schedule in January 2009.
The street sweeping will take place every week between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Residents are asked to do their part to increase the effectiveness of the City wide street sweeping by removing vehicles from the street during scheduled street sweeping days, by keeping the street clear of lawn and tree trimmings, trash and debris and by removing portable basketball courts from the streets.
In addition, it is important that residents do not pile or stack leaves either in the street or in yards. All leafy debris should be placed in the green waste container supplied by the trash service provider. This is to ensure that the street sweeping equipment does not become plugged which would result in delays in the street sweeping service.
