Street Sweeping

City of Bismarck Streets Sweeping

The Roads & Street Division conduct an annual street sweeping program in the spring to clean up the dirt and debris that has accumulated on the city streets over the winter.

Street sweeping is one of the most cost-effective ways to remove the sediments and associated pollutants, such as metals, petroleum products, that accumulate on streets before they wash into local watersheds.

The sweeping crews have  been able to clean the streets in a very efficient and timely manner because of the cooperation of Bismarck residents.
