Help Keep Stayton's Street Sweeper Healthy this Winter
The street sweeper is hard at work helping to clean and keep the streets safe to travel on. However, it is important to remember that there is only one street sweeper, and it is not immune to feeling under the weather. You can help ensure our street sweeper runs smoothly by avoiding pushing leaves and yard debris into the street or curb. While the street sweeper is designed to handle dirt and debris, an excessive amount of leaves and debris in the street can cause damage or prevent it from working effectively. This could cause debris to not be collected properly. Leaves that are not collected can lead to storm drains being blocked and result in flooding on the streets. Let s all pitch in to keep Stayton s one and only streetsweeper in top shape, ensuring our streets remain safe and clean. If you spot a blocked storm drain and it s safe to clear it, please help to remove the blockage. If the issue persists, contact Public Works at (503) 769-2919, or for after-hours the non-emergency line at (503) 982-2340. Thank you for helping us keep Stayton clean, safe and beautiful!
