The City’s Annual Spring Clean-up Program is set to begin next week. Residents may park in the far East lot at the centre overnight if necessary. 

Highlights this year:

• Flexibility: Daytime crews will sweep in communities Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Parking bans are in place when signs are present.

• No schedule changes: City crews will not be pre-sweeping in communities. Any delays due to weather, equipment or other issues will only be rescheduled to the end of the program (end of June).

• Avoid parking tickets by planning ahead and moving vehicles: Enforcement will occur this year through partnership with the Calgary Parking Authority. Vehicle owners that have not moved before sweepers are operating in their community may receive a parking tag but there are multiple way to plan ahead and be prepared.

• If debris is left behind because a vehicle or cart has not been moved: Residents can sweep up missed debris. It is recommended to use garbage bags (heavy debris needs to be double-bagged) when cleaning up gravel, dust and rocks. Do not leave debris loose in your black cart.

We are communicating with citizens in a number of ways so that they can get information about when their areas will be swept. The best option is to visit Calgary.ca/sweep to find:

• Address look up tool
• The “RoadBot” Virtual Agent
• Email notifications
• Online map showing progress/schedule
• Program information
• FAQ’s

Please watch for these signs:

Why we sweep?

Environment: To help the environment by keeping material out of our storm and river system
Safety: To keep safe on our roads when walking, cycling or operating a motorized vehicle
Clean Air: Make our communities clean and reduce airborne particles
