Town’s ‘Operation Clean Sweep’ to Commence in North Hempstead
Street Sweepers will clean all Town roads starting April 26

North Hempstead, NY – Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth announced that starting April 26, North Hempstead’s Highway crews will be hitting Town streets to sweep up the winter debris as the annual “Operation Clean Sweep” gets underway. This two-week initiative is held each spring and aims to sweep North Hempstead’s roads safe and clean.

“With all of the snow we received this winter, Operation Clean Sweep is a vital program that will keep our streets clean while also preventing toxic chemicals from entering our storm drains,” said Supervisor Judi Bosworth. “We certainly are looking forward to kicking off the spring with the spring cleaning of our streets.”

The Highway Department needs the public’s help to make Operation Clean Sweep a success. They ask that residents refrain from parking vehicles on town roads from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m. during their designated sweeping days. Businesses are asked to keep their cars off the road from 4 a.m. to 6 a.m. The public’s cooperation will ensure that the roads are cleaned as thoroughly as possible.

From Monday, April 26 to Friday, April 30, all areas NOT within incorporated villages and south of the Long Island Expressway will be swept.

From Monday, May 3 to Friday, May 7 all areas NOT within incorporated villages and north of the Long Island Expressway will be swept.
