How does StreetCleaningAlerts know my exact schedule?

We ingest and verify official municipal GIS shapefiles and public works databases directly from city departments (such as StreetsLA, Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation, and SFMTA). We map your exact address to the municipal sweeping district, section, and odd/even side.

Do I have to download or maintain a mobile app?

No. StreetCleaningAlerts is 100% zero-app. We send a clean SMS text message directly to your phone at 8:00 PM the evening before and 7:00 AM the morning of your scheduled street sweeping. Zero battery drain, zero background location tracking.

What happens during winter when street sweeping stops?

For cities with seasonal winter pauses (such as Chicago, Denver, and Boston), our system automatically pauses dispatch during winter months so you don't receive unnecessary notifications. Alerts resume seamlessly in the spring.

Can I protect multiple cars or rental fleet vehicles?

Yes! Our Turo & Fleet Program allows car-sharing hosts and multi-car households to register multiple vehicles and street locations under a single dashboard.
