The city of Santa Clarita plans to increase street sweeping efforts throughout the city, beginning this week and continuing through the winter and fall seasons.

Street sweeping will take place every week following trash pickup days between the hours of 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. to help keep streets, and particularly gutters, clean and free of falling leaves and debris.

The city is asking residents to do their part and help keep the streets clear of vehicles on scheduled street sweeping days for  quick and effective service.

Residents are also encouraged to keep the street clear of lawn and tree trimmings, trash, and debris, and remove portable basketball courts from the streets.

Additionally, it is important that residents do not pile or stack leaves in the street or in yards.  All leafy debris should be placed in the green waste container supplied by the trash service provider.

This is to ensure that the street sweeping equipment does not become plugged, which would result in delays in the street sweeping service.
Street sweeping will return to the monthly schedule on Jan. 23, 2017.
