Montgomery County Begins Street-Sweeping Program

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MD — The county's annual street sweeping program began Monday, April 8. The service runs through June and sweeps over 4,100 lane miles of residential roadways in Montgomery County.

Last year, over 800 tons of debris were collected and removed by crews, a county news release said. Sweeping routes are prioritized based on their proximity to sensitive watershed areas as identified by the Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection.

The Montgomery County Department of Transportation will post “No Parking” signs a few days in advance of sweeping operations. Find the sweeping schedule by calling MC311 or visiting MCDOT’s Residential Street Sweeping website at montgomerycountymd.gov/DOT-Highway/streetsweep.

The program's goal is to promote the health of local watersheds, as well as the overall health of the Chesapeake Bay.
