Service Information

The City of Signal Hill contracts with CleanStreet for street sweeping services. A comprehensive street sweeping program assists the City in complying with the requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit by removing pollutants, debris and sediments on the City streets which otherwise might enter the storm drain system. Water entering the storm drain system goes directly to our creeks, rivers, lakes, and beaches. You can help to keep our waters clean by not leaving trash, yard waste or leaves in the street and/or gutters. Leaves and other yard waste should be disposed of properly. If necessary, please notify your landscape services company of this requirement. Street sweepers will not collect piles of leaves or green waste intentionally left in the gutter.

Please keep the following guidelines in mind for street sweeping service:

  • Please move all vehicles off the street during the times/days posted for street sweeping.
  • Please ensure all trash containers and recreational items such as basketball hoops are removed from the gutter area on your service day.
  • Don’t rake or blow leaves/grass into the gutter or streets. Instead place them inside of your automated green waste container to be picked up on your scheduled collection day.
