Street Sweeping#
Program Mission#
This program's mission is to clean city streets and bike lanes as required to provide safe conditions for all modes of transportation. Clean streets support good air quality standards and stormwater quality services to the residents of Fort Collins.
Sweeping Schedule#
Residential neighborhoods will be swept four times per year. Notifications for sweeping will be sent by email or through Nextdoor.com. Email notifications are sent on Thursdays the week before to impacted neighborhoods.
Be Ready On Sweeping Days#
Clean streets are important for storm water drainage and keeping Fort Collins looking great.
- Subscribe to email notifications (see above)
- Relocate vehicles to allow Sweeper to clean gutter to gutter.
POUDRE RIVER HEALTH
Do not sweep leaves, branches, grass clippings, trash, rocks, and gravel into the street. This debris can damage the sweeping mechanisms on the trucks, clog stormwater drains and may send pollutants into the Poudre River. [City Code 26-498]
TRIM YOUR VEGETATION
Trim trees to 8 feet above sidewalk and 14 feet above the street. Shrubbery cannot encroach on to any public sidewalk or block vision of drivers. [City Code 27-57]
