Street sweepers hit Chicago Tuesday

Street-sweeping season in Chicago kicks off Tuesday.

Dozens of city vehicles will begin to make their way through neighborhoods to clear debris and litter that have accumulated on streets and curbs over the winter, the city’s Department of Streets and Sanitation said.

Street cleaning season will last until mid-November. Sweepers will be on the streets weekdays between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Crews will post signs 48 hours before sweepers are due to pass through.

Residents should check the street sweeping schedule and move their vehicles to avoid parking tickets, city officials said. Residents can also check the Sweeper Tracker for real-time locations of sweepers.
