Street sweeping

Residential City streets are swept every week and are posted with the day and time of the sweeping schedule. It is illegal to park on the street during the scheduled sweeping times and vehicles parked on the street when the sweeper passes will receive a parking citation. It is always illegal to park vehicles on sidewalks and residential lawns, even on street sweeping day.

Holiday schedule

Street sweeping is cancelled on City holidays and is not rescheduled for sweeping the following day. Use the button link below to view the holiday street sweeping schedule to find out the day the street sweeping cancellations take place.

Street sweeping on rainy days

The City is reluctant to cancel street sweeping because of the critical need to clean streets and recommends that residents always expect street sweeping to occur. Street sweeping is usually cancelled when steady continuous rain occurs and runoff fills the gutters, causing sweeping operations to become ineffective. Do not assume that any rain results in automatic cancellation.

When the City cancels street sweeping, public notification will be provided and available through the following official City sites: City of Santa Ana website, Nixle notifications, City social media sites and MySantaAna App.
