Keeping streets
clean in the summer
T he warm weather of summertime brings people out of their homes, so make sure they are met with clean streets.
While the summer sun is welcomed by residents, it can take a toll on the cleanliness of a municipality. As outdoor recreational activities resume, the amount of litter and debris in the streets increases. Additionally, the lack of rain allows dirt and fine particles to accumulate rapidly. This not only causes harm to the aesthetic of a municipality, but excess dirt and debris can impact air quality and eventually water quality if it makes its way into storm drains.
These factors make the summer taxing for sweepers, so Elgin Sweeper has five tips for keeping the streets clean this summer.
1. Beware of dust. The lack of rainfall in the summertime can cause dust and debris to build up hindering the sweeper’ s ability to suction effectively. Wetting the streets before and after sweeping can minimize buildup and results in cleaner streets. High-efficiency sweepers are effective in combatting summer street conditions due to their dust suppression features, high-pressure washers, and multiple brushes.
