We will continue to sweep downtown and major arterial streets daily throughout the summer.

Arterial Sweeper:

• Focuses on all Priority 1 streets; moves to Priority 2 as time allows.
• Priority 1 streets are the four lane arterial streets which carry the most traffic, plus important two-lane thoroughfares. Examples include 14th Street SW, Taft Avenue, and US Highway 287.
• Priority 2 streets are heavily-used two lane collector streets, school bus routes and streets which serve commercial/industrial zones. (Some residential streets are identified as collector streets)

Downtown Sweeper:

• Priority area: Garfield to Washington Avenue and 1st Street to 7th Street.
• Includes all City facility parking lots and public downtown lots.
• Secondary areas are identified on the sweeping map as D‑2 and D‑3.

Due to traffic and early morning parking downtown, these crews operate Monday–Thursday, 4 a.m. to 2 p.m. for safety and efficiency.

Street sweeping is more than just a cleanup effort. It helps:

• Improve neighborhood appearance
• Reduce dust and debris on roadways
• Prevent storm drain blockages
• Protect local streams and rivers from pollution

By keeping debris out of our drainage system, street sweeping supports the long-term health of Loveland’s water resources and infrastructure.

• Do not pile, rake, sweep or blow anything into the street or gutter. This includes leaves, rock, or other landscape materials. To do so is in violation of Loveland Municipal Code Section 12.28.070. 
• Do not leave trash or recycling carts out after your collection day.
• Low hanging branches present obstructions for sweepers and other large vehicles. Residents are responsible for maintaining overgrown trees, bushes or other debris in front of their home.  
• Keep basketball hoops and other items from the curb at all times.
• Please park vehicles in the driveway so crews can sweep up to the curb.
• The City coordinates its street sweeping schedule with trash pick-up days. This is an easy reminder for residents when our street sweeper will be coming by their neighborhood. To view when the street sweeper will be in your neighborhood, click the map below. 

A sweeping request should only be submitted when there is a potential roadway hazard, such as:

• Glass
• Accident debris
• Nails, screws, small rocks
• Concrete spills or similar small debris

Larger road obstructions (managed by the Streets Division) include:

• Wood, large debris, tires
• Large trash bags, hay bales
• Car parts, large branches, or any item too large for a sweeper

The Streets Division also responds to deer carcass within City of Loveland limits. Storm Maintenance and Streets crews coordinate closely for after-hours emergencies. For questions about our street sweeping services, please contact the Public Works Department at 970-962-2524 or email PublicWorksInfo@cityofloveland.org.

We understand residents may request sweeping services for various reasons, but our program only provides two scheduled sweeps per year. If a concern involves a blocked inlet, please contact the Public Works Department at 970-962-2524 or email PublicWorksInfo@cityofloveland.org. As requests come in, we’ll evaluate or investigate the concern. Our services include emergency or after‑hours response, however, it is rare, not unless flooding threatens structures or impedes safe travel.
