Fall Street Sweeping Efforts Now Underway in Brandon


October 2, 2020

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Brandon, MB – Leaves are falling in Brandon and that means the City of Brandon Streets & Roads Section is back out on the streets with its street sweeping equipment!

Work to clear catch basins of tree leaves, seeds and other debris prior to the winter season begins today in Residential Zone C, Section 1, as per the City of Brandon’s online Street Sweeping Map. Residents are encouraged to check the map every few days for updates as sweeping crews make their way into other Residential Zones. Weather-permitting, all municipally-maintained streets will be swept prior to the onset of winter.

Residents are not required to move their vehicles off the street when street sweeping crews are in their neighbourhood, but if they are able to do so, it will greatly assist sweeping efforts. Residents can also greatly assist the process by refraining from raking leaves from their yards and boulevards into the streets or on top of storm sewer catch basins. Once raked, yard debris should be properly bagged and either placed in your residential Green Cart or taken to any one of the City’s yard waste drop-off depots listed here.

Residents seeking more information on seasonal street work conducted by the City of Brandon Streets and Roads Section are encouraged to call 204-729-2285.
