Street cleaning is one way that StreetsLA enhances the quality of life for all. The most familiar of our cleaning activities is our fleet of street sweepers, staffed by authorized full-time Motor Sweeper Operators.

There are more than 4,700 curb miles in Los Angeles where "No Parking" signs are posted to allow our sweepers to reach the curb, so we can clean the streets, keep trash out of our rivers and ocean, and prevent local flooding due to blocked storm drains.

Staff shortages due to the financial crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting Citywide hiring freeze necessitate that we reduce the frequency of street sweeping: routes that had received weekly sweeping will now be swept biweekly, meaning on either the first and third weeks of the month or the second and fourth weeks of the month.
