Denver Street Sweeping Season Starts April 1: Don’t Get Hit with a $50 Fine

Spring has arrived in the Mile High City, and with the warmer weather comes the return of our annual street sweeping season. Starting April 1, city crews will be out in full force to clean our neighborhood streets, and officials are reminding residents to pay close attention to parking signs.

To ensure crews can do their job effectively, parking restrictions will be strictly enforced. If you’re parked on the wrong side of the street on your block’s designated sweeping day, you could be facing a $50 ticket.

We know how busy life gets, so please take a moment to check the red-and-white signs posted on your street. If you’re unsure of your schedule, you can easily look up your specific day by entering your address on the Denver online services hub. For extra peace of mind, you can also sign up for email or text reminders so you never have to scramble at the last minute.

Beyond keeping our neighborhoods looking tidy, this program serves a vital environmental purpose. By clearing dirt and debris, crews prevent runoff from clogging our storm sewer inlets and help keep our local air and water cleaner. Last year alone, Denver teams collected 46,478 cubic yards of debris—an amount equal to filling 14 Olympic-sized swimming pools!

“It’s a simple step that makes a huge difference for our city’s infrastructure,” city officials noted.

We’re all in this together, Denver. Save yourself the headache of a ticket and help our crews keep our streets clean this season. For more information and to sign up for those helpful alerts, visit the Denver services website today. Keep it tuned to KOSI 101.1 for all your local community updates.
