Street Sweeping

New for 2017, school zones will be part of the daytime neighbourhood sweeping schedule. The area between the 30km/hr school zone signs will no longer be swept separately at night.

 What you can expect from us

1. Yellow “No Parking” signs will be posted on all streets a minimum of 36 hours ahead of scheduled street sweeping for your neighbourhood, including school zones.
2. Vehicles parked on a street after 7 a.m. on the posted street sweeping day will be ticketed and relocated to a nearby street.
3. Sweepers will clean all streets in your neighbourhood as scheduled, avoiding school zones during peak drop-off and pick-up times only. 
4. Street sweeping is weather dependent. If the schedule changes, the yellow “No Parking” signs will removed and posted again for the new day.

 How you can help us

1. Educate students about the importance of staying back several metres from large equipment and supervise students that are outside during school hours. The operator may not be able to see them approach.
2. Notify drivers who live at or visit your location to watch for and obey the yellow "No Parking" signs.
3. Let us know! Please report concerns to our customer service centre at 306-975-2476

How do I contact the City with questions about street sweeping?

For information about the City’s street sweeping programs, email us or call the 24-Hour Customer Service Centre at 306-975-2476. 

How will I be notified of my street sweeping date?

Bright yellow ‘No Parking’ signs will be posted in neighbourhoods 36-48 hours in advance of sweeping. Refer to the Street Sweeping schedule on this page for a full schedule.

What could cause a street to be missed by street sweepers?

• Some neighbourhoods are swept over two or three days to leave room for parking.
• Street sweeping may have a delayed start time, be cancelled or end early if there is heavy rain.  Street Sweeping Service Alerts will be issued if there is a change to the schedule and signs will be removed to indicate street sweepers will not return on that date.
• If you feel your street was missed by accident, please call the 24-Hour Customer Service Centre at 306-975-2476. 

My vehicle was towed for street sweeping.  Where is it?

Vehicles remaining on a street posted for street sweeping may be ticketed and relocated to a nearby street. If your vehicle is moved, visit Find My Vehicle! for its location or call our 24-Hour Customer Service Centre at 306-975-2476.

Who can I contact if I see someone vandalizing or taking a No Parking sign?  Or if I find a sign?

Our staff wear City of Saskatoon high-visibility vests when they update dates and reposition signs.

Street sweeping is scheduled for the same day as my Black Garbage, Blue Recycling or Green Cart collection.  Can I still put my cart on the street for collection?

If you are a Green Cart subscriber, your collection day may occur on your neighbourhood sweeping day. Please place your cart on the street as instructed and City staff will move it out of the way for sweeping and return it for collection.  The schedule is designed to work around the black garbage and blue recycling cart collection, which are city-wide programs.

Will the City be cleaning leaves and debris off sidewalks?

The City cleans sidewalks on major roadways, and asks that you remove leaves and debris from your sidewalks and driveways. Please do not push leaves from your sidewalk, boulevard and yard onto the street. City Bylaws prohibit doing so and violators may receive a warning or a fine.

How do I dispute a parking ticket?

Please contact a Customer Service Representative to discuss options at 306-975-2400 or on the main floor of City Hall at 222 Third Avenue South.
