Street Sweeping Underway
Now through January 30, 2026

From now through January 30, 2026, San Ramon streets will be swept weekly (up to 4x/month) to manage the extra fall leaves.

Residential streets are swept between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Your regular sweeping day won’t change, but sweepers may come later than usual.

Help us keep San Ramon clean:

If a street sweeper isn’t sweeping, it’s probably full of leaves and heading to dump the leaves.
It’ll be back to clean once done!

Questions? Call Contract Sweeping Services at (408) 498-4631.

Winter Wassail

11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

“Wassail” is the modern spelling of the Norse & old English phrase “waes hael” meaning “good health!” Traditionally community members would gather in an orchard to sing, dance, and bless the trees for a bountiful harvest and awaken them from dormancy.

Participate in San Ramon's very own Winter Wassail at Crow Canyon Gardens (114 Park Place, San Ramon CA 94683) on Saturday, January 10!

We will be joined by the San Ramon Community Chorus and Berkeley Morris Dancers. Garden tastings and hot cider sips will be provided, while supplies last.
