Chicago utilizes mechanical street sweepers to remove debris and litter from streets.
From April 1st through mid-November, bright orange temporary parking restrictions are posted the day before sweeping service is scheduled to begin on any street to ensure curb-to-curb cleaning. Some arterial streets have permanently posted signs that specify a once-per-week period when parking is prohibited for street sweeping.
Every year from April 1st to November 30th, the Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation (DSS) performs Chicago street sweeping and street cleaning services, but if the early spring cleaning begins earlier. (example: Thanks to the warmer weather this month, the city began cleaning main streets on March 21, 2016)
