Street Sweeping

Once the winter/spring seesaw ends, crews will be out to sweep the winter debris off the streets!


Spring sweeping usually starts mid to late April and is typically completed by mid-May. Our sweepers are on the streets between 7:00am and 7:00pm Monday to Friday.

We will be posting the sweep/road schedule on our website at www.blackfalds.ca/roads!
