Welland street sweeping program ready to begin

Posted | April 3, 2024

The City of Welland is starting a city-wide street sweeping program of municipal roadways on April 4. Although this program has the potential to pause due to weather-related conditions, staff anticipate the sweeping will take approximately four-to-six weeks to complete.

Street sweeping will start at the south end of the city and continue systematically to the north end; curb lines within cul-de-sacs will be swept.

Sweeping creates a healthier environment by reducing dust and other airborne mixtures of solid particles and liquid droplets. The program also reduces the amount of material that washes away into the storm sewer system, ultimately leading to the canal, river, and creeks.

How can you help?
  • Avoid parking your vehicles on the road during this period
  • Do not sweep your driveway and sidewalk debris onto the roadway
  • Do not sweep the gutter or edge of road material into a pile
  • Remove hockey and basketball nets from the edge of the road

For inquiries regarding the City’s street sweeping, please contact the public works department at 905 735-1700 x3000.
