Minneapolis is known for its sparkling waterways and we want to keep it that way. That’s why protecting and enhancing our environment is one of the City’s top priorities. Street sweeping is one way we work to protect our environment because it keeps leaves and debris from clogging our storm drains and polluting our lakes and rivers. It also helps keep our neighborhoods clean and livable.
Minneapolis streets are swept completely curb to curb once in the spring and once in the fall. This fall’s sweep will begin Monday, October 20. Streets will be posted at least 24 hours in advance. Parking on posted streets is prohibited 7 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
For more information and to access the Street Look Up tool for advance notice, visit http://www.minneapolismn.gov/publicworks/streetsweeping/ which will be routinely updated. Messages about parking restrictions are also available in multiple languages at this link.
Residents should not push leaves, grass clippings, or other debris into City streets – it’s bad for our waterways, can cause safety hazards, and is against the law. Anything that goes down a storm drain flows directly into our lakes and river, and decomposing plant material in the water encourages the growth of harmful aquatic plants and algae.
