Discover EnviroSweeper Services

  We are a proud member of the WSA and an avid supporter and participant in their “Ethics in Power Sweeping” initiative. We’re committed to using Eco-friendly, regenerative air sweepers. These sweepers minimize the amount of pollutants we put back into the atmosphere and allow us to complete our work without disturbing the individuals enjoying the property. Dustless sweeping is particularly effective when it comes to cleaning streets and highways, as many of our projects require us to travel longer distances on public streets.

As a company that prides itself in bettering the community we live in, dustless sweeping just makes sense.

Benefits of Street Sweeping

Historically, street and parking lot sweeping has been done for aesthetic purposes; however, environmental concerns and regulations have become increasingly prevalent over the past several decades, making storm water and air quality some of the more important reasons to sweep streets, parking lots, and other paved surfaces today.

What are some of the materials that are found on paved street and parking lot surfaces that street sweepers help remove and where do they come from?

Crustal materials – Such as soil, sediment, sand, and eroded rock from the weathering of bricks, concrete, and asphalt from pavement and structures. This material is carried by surface runoff, wind, vehicle trackout from construction sites, unpaved roads, and pavement abrasion from vehicular traffic.

Vegetation – From yard waste such as grass clippings, and leaves and twigs from trees.

Motor vehicles – From tire debris and particles, exhaust emissions, brake dust, fluids such as oil, transmission fluid, coolant and fuel, and chunks of plastic and glass from wreckage.

Industrial emissions.

Litter – Such as trash, bottles, fast food wrappers, and hypodermic needles.

Animal carcasses.
