STREET
SWEEPING
Litter,
debris, and gravel along the edges of roads
not only look unsightly, but can cause clogging
of storm sewer lines if left uncleaned. The
City normally provides one or two rounds of
street sweeping on all curbed streets per year
to remove this debris. City parking lots are
also swept.
Below is a chart showing when the Sweeping took
place and approximately how much debris was
removed from the roadways.

Spills
of materials in the roadway or material such
as screws or bolts that are a hazard to traffic
are swept up by City personnel immediately when
reported. If you wish to report debris in the
road that is a hazard, call the Service Department
at (330) 468-8324. You can also call the Police
Department non-emergency line at (330) 468-1234.
How
we do it!
The City does not own a street sweeper, so a
contractor is brought in to perform the work.
It usually takes several days for the contractor
to complete the entire City. All debris that
is swept up is disposed of in an approved landfill.
