For Immediate Release: Friday, April 4, 2025
The Montgomery County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) annual Street Sweeping Program began on Tuesday, April 1. The effort will run through July and will sweep 4,240 lane miles of residential roadways. These efforts help to promote the health of local watersheds by removing salt and debris that would otherwise be swept into waterways.

Last year, close to 1,000 tons of debris was collected and removed by crews. Sweeping routes are prioritized based on their proximity to sensitive watershed areas which are identified by the Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection.
Residents can find the sweeping schedule by visiting MCDOT’s Street Sweeping webpage and click on your area within the map. Dates are approximate and may be affected by weather. TO see the sweeping schedules in a table, click on the drop-down arrow on the bottom of the map.
MCDOT will post “ No Parking ” signs a few days in advance of sweeping operations. Cars will not be towed for this effort, but street sweepers will not be able to return to re-sweep areas where cars were parked.
