Streets Sweeping
Chicago's street sweeping season will begin April 1 and run through mid-November. If a street is scheduled for sweeping, a temporary no parking sign will be posted along the route the day before service to ensure curb-to-curb cleaning. Some arterial streets may already have permanently posted signs that specify a once-per-week period when parking is prohibited due to sweeping. Residents who need more than one day notice of street sweeping should contact their local ward sanitation office. The 2016 street sweeping schedule is available at

Clean and Green
Chicago's annual Clean and Green neighborhood day of service has been scheduled for Saturday, April 16, 2016. Clean and Green is a great opportunity for residents, school groups and community organizations to team up and beautify areas in their neighborhood. The City will provide the brooms, rakes, shovels and bags needed for clean-up projects, as well as white paint and painting tools for cleaning viaducts. Call 311 to register.
Yard Waste Collection
The City is coordinating dedicated yard waste collection trucks this spring to assist residents in clearing their yards, parkways and storm drains following the winter season. Residents can call 311 to request separate yard waste collection from April 16 through April 22. Yard waste should be left in the alley or at the curb for collection, and bagged separately from garbage in the black carts and separately from recycling in the blue carts. A Streets and Sanitation truck will collect the bags based on 311 requests and take it to be composted.
