Street sweeping is conducted 10:30 PM to 7:00 AM, Sunday night through Friday morning to minimize the disruption to residents.
The City of Providence has started the 2022 Street Sweeping Program and is scheduled to sweep all sections of the City a minimum of four times during the course of the year. Some areas, particularly the business corridors will be swept more frequently. In addition, this year the City will be conducting daytime sweeping operations on streets where parking is not allowed or where crews can work with minimal traffic interruptions. Please keep in mind that the schedule is always subject to change due to weather and staffing. Anyone with Overnight Parking permits will also be notified by email with the street sweeping schedule to make alternate parking arrangements to minimize interfering with street sweeping activities.

Sidewalks
Abutters are requested to sweep sidewalks in anticipation of street sweepers. Residents are also asked to clean sidewalks in front of vacant lots and public areas. Their cooperation would be most helpful since wind-borne litter carried from adjacent sidewalks and parking areas can nullify the results of a well-swept street. Street Sweeping is continuing on a nightly basis to address areas with continuing litter and debris issues. If you have a location that needs to be swept, please contact DPW during normal business hours at (401) 680-7500 or visit #PVD311 to let us know how together we can keep Providence clean.
