About street sweeping

Street sweeping keeps our roads and streets clean by removing litter, green waste and other debris.

You can help keep streets clean by making sure all household waste, green waste and recycling is put in the correct bin.

Road cleaning

Council’s road cleaning schedules are designed using operational data and local conditions to ensure services are delivered where they are needed most.

As seasonal demands change throughout the year, service frequencies may be adjusted to reflect varying levels of debris accumulation across Brisbane suburbs. This data-driven approach supports cleaner streets, improved service outcomes and better value for residents.
