Our Street Sweepers need your help
It is not possible to sweep the streets and gutters if trees or other vegetation is overgrown. All vegetation must be at least:
Eight feet above the entire sidewalk for pedestrian safety - Twelve feet above the street and gutter to avoid damaging sweeping equipment
- Trees along bus routes must be at least 16 feet above the street
and gutter for safe passage of busses
When is your street cleaned?

Why is street sweeping important?
An effective street sweeping program is important because removing debris from gutters and roadsides means less debris goes down storm drains and into a creek, the Delta or San Francisco Bay causing water pollution.
The City's street sweeping program is only part of the solution to water pollution. Residents can help by being aware of how their actions can contribute to or help solve the problem. For instance, over watering can wash pollutants from yards and streets into gutters and storm drains. These pollutants include pesticides, fertilizers, motor oil and yard clippings.
Residents who rake leaves and yard clippings into the street make it difficult for crews to remove these potential pollutants. The City has added a green waste-recycling program to the garbage collection service. Green waste can be recycled by leaving it in bags or cans on the curb on garbage day. Please don't rake it into the street. (Learn more about the environment and recycling on our Environment page.)
