Street Sweeping Program
The City’s Street Sweeping program cleans city streets to provide safe conditions for the entire community. The program not only keeps city streets cleaner and safer, but it also reduces health hazards related to dust and insures trash in the streets doesn't become a refuge for insects and rodents. Regular sweeping also improves the stormwater quality by helping to prevent the accumulation of debris and reducing the amount of sedimentation discharged to streams, lakes, ponds and other waterways.
The Stillwater Street Sweepers are operational Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Citizens can help the street sweepers do their job on scheduled street sweeping days by removing vehicles, trash cans, basketball hoops and other obstructions from the street. It is also helpful if citizens keep tree branches and bushes trimmed back so sweepers can sweep up to the curb line. Residents, business owners and landscape companies can also help out by not blowing grass clippings or disposing yard waste, leaves and branches into the street for a sweeper to clean up. Streets with curbs are swept first and those without curbs are swept as necessary.
