Back to SearchLloydminster, AB/SK – The City of Lloydminster has commenced seasonal street-sweeping operations, beginning in the downtown and main arterial routes. Residential sweeping will begin on May 6, 2019.
Residential street-sweeping follows curbside collection zoning which can be found at www.lloydminster.ca/roadsandsidewalks. Sweeping will begin in the Blue Zone followed by the Green Zone, Yellow Zone, Pink Zone and proceed to the Orange Zone.
In residential areas, sweeping operations are typically carried out between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. Monday to Thursday, after 10 p.m. Signs will be posted in residential neighbourhoods, advising residents at least 36 hours in advance of sweeping operations. If signs remain posted prior to the weekend, residents are permitted to park their vehicles on the street during the weekend, however, vehicles must be removed the following Monday to allow street sweeping operations to continue.
In residential areas, sweeping operations are typically carried out between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m., Monday to Friday before moving to other areas for the remainder of the night.
“To expedite sweeping operations, we are asking residents to set out waste and organics carts after 7 p.m. the day before pickup and have them removed by 7 p.m. the same day of the pickup,” said Dave Henning, Director, Transportation Services.
To allow workers to efficiently complete sweeping operations, residents are asked to remove vehicles and curbside collection carts in advance of street sweeping operations. Updates on the progress and location of street sweeping operations will be provided on the City website, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution around street sweepers and maintain a safe distance of eight metres from all equipment. Residents with questions about the street sweeping program are asked to call 780-874-3700.
Street-cleaning operations aim to minimize debris entering stormwater collection systems, reduce dust and provide clean roadways.
