Residential Street Sweeping Schedule
The Department of Public Works sweeps and flushes the city's streets. We recognize the importance of this task, both to our customers and the environment.
Each year, as approximately 22,000 lane-miles of streets are swept, tons of debris are kept from entering the stormwater system and, subsequently, our local waterways. Due to the nature of our equipment, only streets with curbs and gutters are routinely swept. Following are some additional points to keep in mind about street sweeping:
- Obstacles in the sweeper's path hinder its operation. Items such as refuse containers, bikes, portable basketball goals, and piles of yard debris should be moved during sweeping periods.
- "No Parking" signs are posted at least 48 hours in advance of cleaning and they must be obeyed. Vehicles blocking the path of the sweepers will be towed.
- The sweeping schedule may be affected by adverse weather, equipment failure, or other unforeseen events
NOTE: Street Sweeping routes are cancelled during inclement weather (rain and snow)

Towing Information
Disabled Cars - Effective immediately, DPW Street Cleaning and Vacuum Leaf Program services do not accept requests to not tow disabled cars.
If your vehicle is disabled and parked on the street, you need to contact the Richmond Police Department at (804) 646-1343.
Please keep in mind disabled vehicles should not be parked on City of Richmond streets during street cleaning or vacuum leaf collection. Once signage is posted, all vehicles, even those that are disabled, must be moved before street cleaning so as to not receive a parking ticket and towing fees.
