Seattle Street Sweeping Schedule
There are multiple ways to find your street sweeping schedule if you live in Seattle.
- 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.
- 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.seattle.gov/utilities/your-services/sewer-and-drainage/street-sweeping - 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.

There are 21,000 storm drain inlets in #Seattle that go directly to a local waterway, including the Puget Sound. You can prevent water pollution by adopting a storm drain. Sweep up around the drain a few times a month to clean up the debris & trash.https://t.co/f1CNF4xsgY pic.twitter.com/uXQnWbN0XX
