Street Sweeping Schedule 

The Sanitation Division of Public Works provides weekly street sweeping services to keep the City streets clean. Street Sweeping is performed on Mondays through Thursdays from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, with some major streets and industrial areas being swept between 4:00 am to 6:00 am to reduce traffic impacts. Links to City Maps are below.

Street Sweeping parking regulations help keep vehicles off the streets so that street sweepers have clear access to the curb and gutter. Red, blue, white, yellow and green painted curbs are always enforced, even on holidays. Regulations are clearly posted and are enforced all year long except on the following holidays: 

• New Year’s Day (January 1)
• Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day (3rd Monday in January)
• Lincoln's Birthday (February 12)
• President's Day (3^rd Monday in February)
• Memorial Day (Last Monday in May)
• Independence Day (July 4)
• Labor Day (1^st Monday in September)
• Veteran's Day (November 11)
• Thanksgiving Day (4^th Thursday of November)
• Day after Thanksgiving Day
• Christmas Eve (December 24)
• Christmas Day (December 25)
• New Year's Eve (December 31)

Street sweeping may be canceled on a day that it is raining. If streets are too wet, sweepers cannot remove debris. On a rain day, we may attempt to notify the public of canceled street sweeping via social media, Torrance Alerts, and the City website. However, please always adhere to the posted signs for street sweeping to avoid a citation.

Winter Holiday Schedule

Parking Enforcement suspends issuing of citations for street sweeping violations during the Winter holiday season, starting on the 3rd Sunday in December and ending January 2.  During this time, residents are reminded that all vehicles determined to be in violation of a parking restriction other than street sweeping will still be subject to a parking citation.  Street sweeping operations will continue during the holiday period.  We encourage residents to move their cars on a voluntary basis. Please contact the Torrance Police - Traffic Division at (310) 618-5557 for questions on street sweeping parking regulations.

• Keep long twigs and branches out of the street, alley, and gutter. Street sweepers have difficulty removing this type of debris.
