The Hollidaysburg Borough Public Works Services Department establishes a street sweeping schedule each year. Sweeping is conducted in designated areas at least once per week during each scheduled month, according to the published schedule. Street sweeping is performed on a weather-permitting and available-personnel basis; however, every effort is made to complete sweeping in each designated area as scheduled.

In addition to keeping streets clean, routine street sweeping serves several important purposes within the Borough:

• Keeps Debris and Pollutants From Entering The Storm Sewer System and Ultimately The Beaverdam River
• Removes Loose Gravel, Leaves and Debris That May Contribute To Accidents, Vehicle Damage, or Hazards For Pedestrians and Bicyclists
• Reduces Wind-Blown Dust and Road Debris Onto Adjacent Properties and Helps Reduce Airborne Pollution
• Improves The Visibility of Pedestrian Crosswalks
• Enhances The Overall Appearance and Aesthetics of The Community
