Street sweepings are materials such as sand, salt, leaves and debris removed from city streets, parking lots and sidewalks to prevent these materials from being washed into storm sewers and surface waters, and to improve the appearance of public roadways. For a discussion of potential benefits associated with street sweeping, see Overview, water quality benefits, and other co-benefits of street sweeping.

The primary sources of materials in street sweepings include the following.
The composition and characteristics of street sweepings depends on multiple factors, including but not limited to the following. The discussion describes typical conditions.
