Spring street sweeping on streets, sidewalks, and pathways in Hafnarfjörður began immediately after Easter. As before, priority is first given to the town’s main traffic routes, and the work is progressing well. In the coming days, sweeping will then begin in residential neighborhoods alongside the cleaning of main streets. The progress of the project will, however, continue to depend on the weather in the coming days and weeks.

In the coming days, sweeping will then begin in residential neighborhoods alongside the washing of main streets. The progress of the project will, however, continue to depend on the weather in the coming days and weeks.
The spring sweeping period runs from April 1 to June 1 each year. During this time, the town is divided into 15 neighborhoods, with the aim that each one will be swept in a single day according to a predetermined work plan. Signs will be put up in the neighborhoods the day before sweeping takes place, and residents will also receive text messages with information on when their area is scheduled.
Residents are encouraged to do their part so that the results are as good as possible. It is important that streets are free of cars on sweeping days so that cleaning can be carried out effectively along curbs and edges. This is also an ideal opportunity for residents and businesses to tidy up around their own properties and within their lot boundaries – helping to make the town’s appearance even more attractive. Following neighborhood sweeping, high-pressure washing will take place, along with continued sweeping of main roads and collector streets, as well as island cleaning.
