Street Sweeping
As soon as the roads are dry in early spring, the City begins spring pre-sweeping to remove heavier dirt and debris that gathers over the winter. This includes grassy and concrete boulevards and medians where graded snow was placed. Through April, sweeping crews move quickly through high-traffic streets to collect the bulk of the debris, going around any parked cars to reduce as much as 90 per cent of dust.

Sweep happens, Saskatoon. Let’s make sure it happens the right way! You can do your part by moving your vehicles by 7 a.m. on your designated sweeping day. Sweepers won't be able to clean to the curb if your car is there when they arrive and your vehicle may have to be towed.
