The Role of Street Sweepers in Stormwater Pollution Prevention

Rainwater runoff is one of the primary contributors to water pollution in cities in the U.S. When rainwater flows across the surfaces of our streets, it picks up trash, sediments, and additional contaminants, which are then carried into storm drains. If not properly managed, these pollutants flow directly into rivers, lakes, and oceans. Street sweepers represent one of the most efficient tools that communities possess to mitigate and even eliminate this issue. At Victory Sweepers, we manufacture reliable machines that help municipalities and contractors not only keep streets clean and safe, but also help to protect water quality.

How Do Street Sweepers Help Prevent Pollution?

Question people always ask: Do street sweepers actually reduce stormwater pollution? The answer is yes! Street sweepers remove the debris and fine particles located on roadways that will otherwise wash into storm drains when it rains. By removing it at the source, street sweepers decrease the overall quantity of pollutants that enter our waterways. The result is cleaner streets, cleaner water, and healthier communities.
