Street Sweeping
Villa Park is divided into eight sections for street sweeping purposes. Typically, staff members are able to sweep two sections per week - the entire village once per month - depending on the weather and the amount of leaves on the ground. Eight sections are swept in numerical order before the cycle repeats, starting back at section one. To see the eight section street sweeping map, click here.
Street sweeping begins in the spring after the last frost of the season, and ends in the fall just before the first. Please keep in mind that all street sweeping activities are heavily dependent on current weather conditions.
