All streets that are public right-of-way, and have a curb and gutter, are swept by the Recycling and Solid Waste Division once a month, February thru October. This includes streets with both commercial and residential properties.
During Leaf Season, November thru January, residential streets receive leaf collection. Leaf collection service is part of the organics rate that residentail property owners pay. Commercial properties do not pay for nor recieve organics services from the City of Sacramento.
Use the City's collection calendar or the free SacRecycle app to get a calendar for street sweeping at your address and sign up for a reminder the day before sweeping service occurs.

The total annual cost for sweeping nine months of the year is spread over twelve months on your combined utility bill (water, waste, sewer).
Ideally streets should be cleared for sweeping days. In parts of Downtown, there are City Services parking restrictions to allow sweeping and other waste removal services access to the curb. However there are no requirements that cars be off the streets for sweeping, unless there are signed parking restrictions.
Sweepers prevent debris from entering storm drains. They pick up loose dirt and particulates which helps maintain the City's storm drain permits. They are not designed to sweep up large litter and debris.
Check both the online calendar and review question one in this FAQ. The calendar should show all the days your street has been, and will be swept in a calendar year. A new calendar is published every January. If you still believe your street was missed after confirming sweeping dates, sent an email, including your full street address and dates in question to sacrecycle@cityofsacramento.org.
Parts of Downtown and Midtown Sacramento have parking restrictions for City Services.
Weekly Restrictions are for blocks where a home receives weekly garbage and organics and bi-weekly recycling collection on a street that fronts their residence. These blocks also receive street sweeping the first week of the month, and leaf season service November through January.
Monthly Restrictions are for blocks that do not have weekly city residential waste service but receive street sweeping service the first week of the month and leaf collection during leaf season.
