Street Sweeping & Lane Grading

Spring Street Sweeping & Lane Grading Notice

As we transition into warmer weather, the Town of Olds will be conducting a town-wide street sweeping program to clear sand, debris, and other materials from roadways and curbs. To help with this effort, we ask that you remove any rubber or plastic driveway ramps, debris, chains, hitches, or other items from roadway curbs.

Street Sweeping and Lane Grading take place in Spring and Fall. Town staff prioritize the Uptowne area and primary/collector streets first, followed by residential areas. Watch for signs in your neighbourhood and updates on Town of Olds social media for sweeping notices. You can also check the Municipal Events Calendar for updates. 


Street Sweeping and Lane Grading take place in Spring and Fall. Town staff do the Uptowne area and the primary and collector streets first, and then move on to residential areas. Signs are posted on streets to be swept the day before sweeping.

Important Notes

  • Sweeping can begin as early as 6:00 AM in residential areas and 4:00 AM in the Uptowne or Commercial Areas.  Please remove vehicles from the street the night before.

  • For maximum efficiency, the sweeper does an area once and does not return for missed spots due to parked vehicles. 

  • The schedule may be affected by weather, equipment issues, or operational priorities. Staff will get to your area as soon as possible.
