The City of Bismarck Street Department will begin the city-wide street sweeping project on Monday, May 7th. City crews will sweep streets as listed below. Crews will continue this schedule, weather permitting, until all residential streets are swept. Thank you for your cooperation.
Sweeping Guidelines for Residents and Businesses
- Residents are asked to move vehicles and trailers off city streets before the sweepers are in their area.
- Residents and businesses are reminded not to rake or blow leaves or grass into the street.
- Grass clippings plug our storm water system; please keep grass clippings out of the gutter line and street. Adopt an Inlet.
- Residents may take grass/leaves to the yard waste sites or place the bags out for garbage collection. Businesses should take grass/leaves to the landfill during regular business hours
- Do not rake the sand from your boulevard into the street. Please rake the sand into a box and set it out for garbage collection or take it to the landfill during regular business hours.
