Operation Clean Sweep has commenced in North Hempstead. The town’s highway crews have taken to the 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.
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 24 to Friday, April 28, all areas NOT within incorporated villages and south of the Long Island Expressway will be swept.
From Monday, May 1 to Friday, May 5 all areas NOT within incorporated villages and north of the Long Island Expressway will be swept.
