... the street sweepers come out!

Seriously.

!!

I'd never even seen one of those street-sweeping machines until we set up shop in the village. And every spring, they come along, cleaning up all the dirt and gravel that accumulates over the winter.

Stupid question, but... are these common? Or am I one of a privileged few, to be in a village with "clean shoulders"?

Do they have street sweepers in your area?

oh they use them all the time in Cleveland.

We have them here in town and in the nearby larger town. They do the city streets and keep the dust and dirt away from the sidewalks and drainage areas.

We have tnem here also, but they don't come by often :roll: And they leave more dirt and dust on the sidewalks after they pass :shock: LOL

we have them in mansfield, also a private co. does our parking lot at wal-mart where I work

We have them here in the metro area too. They are mainly to pick up all the sand that the county lays on the ice int he winter. But boy is it slippery to try to go anywhere on that sand until they get it swept up!

They hit our street once a month.

We have them all over the Los Angeles area. They sweep once a week. Some areas have restricted parking on the day they come. It does make a huge difference around here in how clean the streets are.

We have them here and I used to think they were a huge waste of money. However, walking 3 dogs during mud/sand season, I can now appreciate their efforts but wish that they hit my neighborhood much more frequently.

Ours get sweeped once a week :D:D:D
When I visit Louisville,Ky they sweep downtown every early morning...that has to be the cleanest city I have ever visited LOL
