Street Sweeping

Citywide seasonal street sweeping began April 1, 2009, and we need your help to keep Denver clean! Check the red and white signs posted on your block for street sweeping parking restrictions (not every block has restrictions) so that Public Works Street Maintenance can provide the best street sweeping service possible.

Citations for not following the posted parking restrictions on street sweeping days are $25.00. Residential streets in Denver are only swept once per month where posted, so please be sure to SHOW YOUR PRIDE AND MOVE YOUR RIDE according to the signs on your block!

There are two ways to help remember your street sweeping day:
Sign up to receive a free email or SMS/text message to remind you of your sweeping day.

Visit www.KeepItCleanDenver.org and click on the “Show Your Pride, Move Your Ride” sweeper icon to sign up. Be sure you know what day of the week your sweeping day falls on (for example, “the 3rd Thursday of the month”), so that you can enter it on your reminder sign-up.
Call Denver’s customer service line, 311, and request “No Parking” sticker reminders for your calendar.

Other ways to help:
*Trim low hanging branches on your street - the sweepers are 10.6 feet high and the trucks that accompany them are 12 feet high.
*Remove items from the gutter on street sweeping days.
*Set trash and recycling bins off of the street on the apron of your driveway or on the curb as close to the street as possible, but not on the sidewalk.
