Street Sweeping Program


To help protect our waterways from pollutants and to help maintain clean streets, the City of West Melbourne provides a street sweeping program. The program removes an average of 22.5 tons of material from city streets each month.

Schedule

Upon its inception in 2011, street sweeping was performed eight times a year in the months of January, February, April, May, July, August, October and November. In approving the City's fiscal year 2016 to 2017 budget, the City Council approved an increase in the frequency of street sweeping to once a month.

It takes two days for the City's contractor to sweep the streets in West Melbourne.

  • Section 1 is the entire portion of the City located north of U.S. 192 and is swept the first day of each cycle period.
  • Section 2 is the entire portion of the City located south of U.S. 192 and is swept the second day of each cycle period.

Street sweeping will generally be performed on the second week of the month barring equipment malfunction or inclement weather and Public Works crews will place signage in front of the neighborhood the day before a sweep so as to encourage citizens not to park along the street the next day.
