Fresh Start for 2026: New Street Sweeping Schedule Released
The City is introducing a new street sweeping schedule for several Irvine villages beginning January 1. These changes will help streamline operations and ensure our roads are well-kept throughout the year.
To find the 2026 street sweeping schedule, visit the City's interactive map at cityofirvine.org/streetsweeping. Select the zone where you live or enter your address in the search bar on the top right side of the page. A pop-up window will display the street sweeping schedule for your address.
Street sweeping removes debris and pollutants before they wash into storm drains that lead to the ocean. It also helps prevent debris from blocking storm drains.
To allow crews to sweep the street effectively, please remove all vehicles from the road by 7 a.m. on the designated sweeping day. Your cooperation is invaluable in maintaining the cleanliness of our community.
