The street sweeper hasn’t been by my house?
The street sweeper can be out as early as March every year. It all depends on the weather. We usually start once the snow is out of the gutters. All streets will be completed by Memorial Day. We may do one side of the street and come back days later to finish the other side. If by the Thursday before Memorial Day week end your street has not been swept at least once since March. Please call and leave a message and we will get out there on Friday if weather permitting.
