Street Sweeper

The City of Elkins operates a street sweeper from late spring through early fall to keep streets clean and reduce strain on the wastewater treatment plant.

2026 street sweeping has ended. 

The 2026 street sweeping season is over. You may still see the street sweeper operating, but no street sweeping tickets will be issued until spring 2027.

The City of Elkins is committed to updating the start and end dates of the street sweeper season on this website, on the city’s Facebook page, and in local media outlets.

• Sweeping runs Monday–Thursday, spring through fall.

• Each street is swept once per week.

• Parking tickets will be issued for vehicles left on scheduled streets during sweeping hours.

• Download the schedule above to see when your street is swept.

There are occasional exceptions to this schedule:

• No sweeping on public holidays. Service is canceled, not rescheduled.

• Missed streets will be swept on the next regularly scheduled day.

• Cancellations due to weather, mechanical issues, or emergencies may not always be announced in advance.

Notification of cancelled street-sweeper runs will be issued when possible. However, when the sweeper route is cut short due to mechanical problems, inclement weather, operator emergencies, or other factors beyond our control, it is not always possible to issue such notifications. The best practice is to establish a routine of moving vehicles on the appointed day and continue that practice weekly until the end of sweeper season.

Thanks for helping us keep Elkins clean and preventing damage to our Wastewater Treatment Plant!
