I am glad that I saw this post!  For several years when the leaves were piled up on the street I could just call 311 and ask for the street sweeper to come out. They would come within the week!  It was awesome!  This past fall I made several calls and they never came...  It is definitely budget cuts...  I really hope they put an emphasis on neighborhoods that have larger amounts of trees like we have.  This is what causes most of the debris on our roads.

Street Cleaning Services 
The following specialized street cleaning services are only provided on City maintained streets and rights-of-way.  Issues on State maintained streets, including Interstates, should be reported to the North Carolina Department of Transportation.

Street Sweeping

Specialized Street Sweeping trucks remove leaves, debris, and other particulate matter, which naturally or inadvertently accumulates within the roadway and gutter lines of City maintained streets.  No one is permitted to purposely blow leaves or place other debris in a street or gutter line.  This service reduces the amount of material from entering the storm water system and polluting our lakes and waterways.  Service is provided on a recurring and as needed basis.  Routine service is provided from 8  am - 4 pm, Monday-Friday.  To report a street sweeping issue, call 311.
 
Litter Control/Removal

Litter and other small debris found within City maintained streets and rights-of-way are removed manually by crews utilizing litter picking tools, bags and trucks.  Service is provided on a recurring and as needed basis.  Service is not provided on private property or public parks.  Routine service is provided from 8 am - 4 pm, Monday-Friday.  To report a litter issue, call 311.
 
 
Illegal Dump Cleanup

Items dumped in and along City maintained streets, or on public property, are picked up by crews utilizing heavy duty and specialized vehicles.  Service is not provided on private property or in public parks.  Routine service is provided from 8 am - 4 pm, Monday-Friday.  To report an illegal dumping issue, call 311.
 
After Hours Emergency Response

Situations causing traffic hazards occurring outside of normal business hours (8 am – 4:30 pm, Monday-Friday) may be reported by calling 911 or 704-336-4163.  The Special Services Supervisor on call will be contacted to mitigate the immediate situation.
