Street sweeping keeps roads safe by removing debris that clogs storm drains and reduces the amount of pollutants that collect on Borough streets. To avoid clogging the sweeper, please place Borough tree branches in the planting strip/sidewalk area.

- 2nd Monday:Â Penn Avenue

Please take note of the signs posted on the street where you park to help the Public Works Department clean the street efficiently and avoid a parking ticket.
If a scheduled street cleaning day falls on a holiday, unless otherwise specified, that street would not be cleaned until the following regular cleaning day.
Make sure to remove your vehicle at the appropriate time when streets are posted to avoid a parking ticket.
