Street Sweeping & Sidewalk Sweeping
The City of Pembroke will begin preliminary Street Sweeping program on Tuesday April 2, 2024 approximately 8:00am to 3:00pm.
The City of Pembroke will begin the full street sweeping and sidewalk sweeping program on Monday April 8, 2024 at approximately 4:00 a.m.: Monday to Friday – 16-hour shift (weather dependent)
- Sweeping operations start (from the centre of the City to the city limits East and West) with priority streets and arterial routes and then followed by all residential streets
- Residents are reminded the City does not sweep sidewalks or paved boulevards in residential areas
- Residents are encouraged to:
- Sweep the sidewalk//boulevard in front of their homes
- Sweep the paved ends of their respective driveways down to edge of road
- Place sand along edge of paved road or into the concrete gutter for collection by City staff or the street sweeper
- Rake the grass boulevard – sand can be left at edge of road and grass clippings placed in green bins
- Grass clippings from spring lawn raking should be placed in green bins
- Staff will pick up sand piles but will not pick up spring grass clippings left in piles
These simple actions greatly assist with the efficient clean up of our City and also keeps excess sand from entering our City storm water system which in turn keeps winter sand out of our waterways.
Unfortunately, there will be some noise generated from the sweeping equipment during operation. The City apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
