During the Spring Sweeping Program; salt, sand, and debris accumulated over the winter season are swept from all City of Brampton streets. The Spring Sweeping program includes:

- Hard-surfaced boulevards and medians.
- Sidewalks and walkways plowed by the City during the winter.
- Parking lots at City of Brampton Recreation Centres and other City facilities.
- Country roads without curbs are flushed and/or swept as required.

Resident Reminders:
- Keep vehicles off residential streets to avoid blocking street sweeping operations.
- Place garbage containers and recycling boxes away from the road on collection days.
- Keep basketball and hockey nets off the road and far enough back from the curb.
- Be understanding. While street sweeping is underway, there may be some noise and dust.
- Be patient. Cold and rainy weather prevents our sweepers from operating.
