There are multiple ways to find your street sweeping schedule if you live in Chino Hills.
- Check the signage posted on your street. You’ll see white signs with red lettering describing when you must move your vehicle for street sweeping to avoid getting a citation.
- If you live on a public street (and the city is responsible for sweeping it) you can find your sweep day by visiting this interactive Map: https://www.sanjoseca.gov/your-government/environment/recycling-garbage/residents/residential-services-lookup
- If you live in a private community, gated community, or homeowners association (HOA) then it’s likely that your street cleaning is performed by a private sweeping company (not the city). Contact your HOA representative to find out the schedule.
