Street Sweeping

The City’s annual spring street sweeping program removes sanding material and other debris (built up on roads during winter) from Beaumont’s public roadways.

Street sweeping takes place in the early spring. It can start as early as the end of March if the weather allows for it. 

Sweeping is good for the environment, reducing dust, other airborne contaminants and the amount of material in the stormwater system. Removing loose material from the roadway is also a safety precaution for pedestrians, bicycles and vehicles.

The street sweeper can still create dusty conditions (the City minimizes dust as much as possible), reducing visibility. Always give the equipment plenty of space: in front, behind and on both sides.

Ways you can help

Signs are placed at the main entrances into subdivisions scheduled for sweeping at least 48 hours in advance. Please park elsewhere on sweeping days, so sweepers can do the best job possible. Sweepers will make up to 3 passes; if you see the sweeper go by, it may not be done yet, so please do not return to park on the street.

  • Ramps or other obstructions should be removed from the gutter in front of your driveway.
  • Rock chips and sand can be swept into the curb gutter for the sweepers to pick up.
  • Grass, leaves and garbage should be kept away from the road and curb gutters and disposed another way.
  • Advertising signs on boulevards and the median should be removed on sweeping days.
  • Street parking can resume when signs are removed from your neighbourhood.

Thank you for contributing to the overall cleanliness of Beaumont and your cooperation through the inconvenience.
