C & D Commercial Services provides comprehensive municipal street sweeping services for cities, towns, and municipal utility districts throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Since 1981, we have been the trusted partner for municipalities seeking reliable, contract-based roadway sweeping that meets state and federal environmental compliance standards. From the growing suburbs of Collin County to the established cities of Tarrant and Dallas Counties, our fleet of regenerative air sweepers delivers the consistent, measurable results that city public works departments demand.

Municipal stormwater management is a complex regulatory landscape. Cities across Texas operate under Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Phase I or Phase II Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permits issued by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). These permits require municipalities to implement measurable best management practices — and street sweeping is one of the most effective and verifiable BMPs for reducing pollutant loading in stormwater runoff.

Regular street sweeping removes accumulated sediment, debris, litter, leaves, and granular pollutants from paved surfaces before they have the opportunity to wash into storm drains and discharge into creeks, rivers, and lakes. TCEQ MS4 permits typically require municipalities to document sweeping frequency, linear miles swept, and estimated pollutant removal. C & D provides detailed reporting on every sweep, including GPS-tracked route data, curb-mile logs, and debris tonnage estimates — documentation that directly supports your annual MS4 report.

Our sweeper operators are trained on TCEQ BMP requirements and understand the critical relationship between street sweeping frequency and receiving-water quality. Whether your city needs monthly sweeping on arterial roads, quarterly service on collector streets, or event-driven response for leaf fall and post-storm debris, we design routes that maximize pollutant removal efficiency while staying within your public works budget.

A comprehensive municipal sweeping program extends beyond the pavement surface. Catch basins, storm drain inlets, and curb-and-gutter channels accumulate sediment that routine street sweeping alone cannot reach. When catch basins become clogged with silt, leaves, and debris, stormwater backs up onto streets — flooding intersections, damaging pavement, and creating public safety hazards.

C & D Commercial Services provides catch basin and inlet cleaning as a complementary service to our street sweeping contracts. Using vacuum-assisted equipment and hand-crew support, we extract accumulated sediment from your stormwater infrastructure, restore designed drainage capacity, and properly dispose of removed material in accordance with TCEQ waste management guidelines. Our crews document pre-cleaning and post-cleaning conditions at each inlet location, giving your municipality a verifiable record of maintenance activity.

Combined with our street sweeping routes, catch basin cleaning creates a closed-loop approach to stormwater management: sweeping removes surface pollutants before they reach the inlets, and periodic inlet cleaning ensures your drainage system continues functioning at design capacity. This integrated approach satisfies TCEQ inspection requirements and reduces the risk of Notice of Violation for non-compliance.

Not all street sweepers are created equal. C & D Commercial Services deploys regenerative air sweepers — the gold standard for municipal roadway cleaning. Unlike mechanical broom sweepers that can leave fine particulates behind, regenerative air sweepers use a high-velocity air stream to lift debris from the pavement surface and direct it into a debris hopper. The air is continuously recirculated, maximizing cleaning power while minimizing fugitive dust emissions.

Regenerative air technology excels at removing the fine particulate matter (PM-10 and PM-2.5) that mechanical sweepers miss — and these are precisely the particles that contribute most significantly to stormwater pollutant loading. Our sweepers achieve curb-to-curb cleaning in a single pass, operating at traffic-compatible speeds that minimize disruption to motorists. The sealed hopper system prevents spillage and dust re-entrainment, keeping your city streets clean and your air quality metrics on target.

For municipalities managing leaf collection programs during fall months, our sweepers are equipped to handle heavy organic loads without clogging. Seasonal leaf accumulation in curb lines creates slip hazards for pedestrians and, when washed into storm drains, contributes significant nutrient loading to receiving waters. Our regenerative air sweepers collect leaves efficiently, and we can scale our fleet during peak leaf-fall periods to maintain service levels across your entire municipal route structure.

Every municipality has unique sweeping requirements based on population density, traffic volume, land use patterns, seasonal factors, and regulatory obligations. C & D offers flexible service schedules designed around your city’s specific needs:

Weekly sweeping is recommended for high-traffic arterial roads, central business districts, and commercial corridors where debris accumulation is rapid. Our weekly routes ensure these priority corridors maintain a clean appearance and remain in compliance with TCEQ BMP requirements.

Bi-weekly or twice-monthly sweeping provides an effective balance for collector streets, school zones, and moderate-traffic residential arterials. This frequency is sufficient to prevent significant pollutant buildup while remaining cost-effective for budget-conscious municipalities.

Monthly sweeping is appropriate for low-traffic residential streets and rural roadways where debris accumulation is minimal. Even at monthly intervals, regular sweeping prevents the deep sediment buildup that leads to clogged drainage infrastructure and pavement degradation over time.

All C & D municipal sweeping contracts include GPS route tracking, debris tonnage reporting, and sweep confirmation documentation. Your city gets a transparent, auditable record of every sweep — data that directly supports your MS4 permit reporting obligations and demonstrates your commitment to environmental stewardship.
