It has not been proven that sweeping the streets more than twice a year provides a significant increase in sediment removal. So in terms of a costibenefit ratio it does not make sense to sweep the streets more than twice a year at this time. . There are two types of sweepers commonly used: vacuum sweepers and mechanical broom sweepers. Vacuum sweepers are more effective for removing fme particles, but are ineffective at cleaning wet surfaces.
