Spring cleaning isn’t just for the indoors here in Arlington.
The county started its annual spring street sweeping today in several neighborhoods. Street sweeping occurs four times throughout the year, twice in the spring and twice in the fall.
Starting this week, county-operated trucks will sweep around Arlington neighborhoods, “removing accumulated debris and pollutants such as sand, salt, metals, petroleum products and bacteria before they wash into streams, the Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay,” per a press release.
The vacuum trucks started sweeping today (Monday) and will finish the early spring season on April 4. Street sweeping hours are scheduled from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
“Be sure to move your car to a driveway, garage or non-sweeping street on your civic association’s scheduled street sweeping day,” the county advised.
