Street Sweeping

Chicago-Street-Sweeper.jpg

The Department of Streets and Sanitation sweep the city’s streets April through mid-November, weather permitting.

​

The city hangs bright orange temporary parking restrictions the day before sweeping service is scheduled to begin. Those who fail to move their vehicle between the restricted hours, between 9 am and 2 pm, will be eligible to receive a $60 ticket.

​

The street sweeping schedule is available to view on the map below. You can also click the brackets located in the top right-hand corner to open the map in Google Maps or by clicking here.
