Street Sweeping

Montgomery is proud of its clean streets. Main street (First Street) is swept  April thru October. Other street sweeping is performed on a scheduled basis early spring and late fall.

Spring Sweeping

The purpose of spring sweeping is to collect all the sand that was spread on the streets for traction the previous winter and other debris that has collected on the streets over the winter months. This process starts early to allow the sand pick up before it is washed into the storm sewers. On average, it takes about two or three weeks to complete spring sweeping.

Fall Sweeping

Fall sweeping is normally started sometime in late September or early October. The timeline is not as critical as spring. In fall, leaves are the big concern and areas with heavy foliage are last to be swept in an attempt to sweep up as many leaves as possible. Streets that have been seal coated earlier in the summer also are re-swept to pickup any rock that may have been loosened by the traffic.
