Overview
- BSR says most grit and leftover winter litter should be cleared by mid-April, with the goal of having the city cleaned by Easter.
- No special sweeps are planned, as crews will work within regular cleaning routes and prioritize high-traffic inner-city streets with support from contractors, other departments and citizens.
- Residents are urged to sweep grit into small piles, place up to 10 liters in a bag in the residual-waste bin, or take up to 30 liters free of charge to any of the 14 recycling yards.
- The agency warns against sweeping grit into curb lines or gullies and asks people not to call for pickup times because crews cannot be everywhere at once.
- Collected grit is cleaned and reused as construction material rather than for spreading, and adjacent property owners remain responsible for most sidewalks.
