Dublin City Council provides street cleaning services to all roads, footpaths, laneways and bridges within its administrative area using manual and mechanical sweeping methods.

We use a grading system that considers location and footfall to decide how often we clean each street. Areas are also inspected daily by locally-based waste management teams who determine whether additional cleaning is required.
