Street Sweeping

Street cleaning is one way that Santa Monica enhances the quality of life for all. The City's weekly street cleaning program helps to keep trash out of our ocean, the streets clean, and prevent local flooding due to blocked storm drains.

We encourage all residents to be mindful of street signage to avoid being ticketed. Vehicles will be cited if they are parked in restricted areas on days when street cleaning is scheduled. If you received a parking ticket you can visit our parking page to learn how to pay or contest your ticket.
