Enforcement Period for the Citys Mechanical Cleaning Program Begins on Monday, April 14- Motorists Urged to Use SweepPHL Map to Track and Monitor Mechanical Broom Progress

The Department of Sanitation in Philadelphia is launching its enforcement period for the Mechanical Cleaning Program on April 14, 2025, focusing on vehicle relocation in 14 key neighborhoods. This initiative, which runs until October 30, is crucial for maintaining cleanliness and improving quality of life as identified by the Litter Index. Motorists are warned that fines will be issued for violations of "No Parking" regulations during cleaning hours from 9 a. m. to 3 p.

m. , Monday to Thursday. The program reflects Mayor Parker's dedication to creating cleaner, greener, and more vibrant neighborhoods. To aid residents, the city offers the SweepPHL mapping tool, allowing them to track the mechanical broom's progress and stay updated on cleaning schedules. The cleaning process will involve a hybrid of mechanical sweeping and trash removal, ensuring thorough neighborhood maintenance.

Residents are encouraged to relocate their vehicles to facilitate effective cleaning, especially in densely populated areas. The Sanitation Department will continuously evaluate the program’s logistics to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
