What is parking lot sweeping?

Commercial parking lot sweeping is the scheduled removal of litter, sand, leaves and debris from parking lots, drive aisles and loading areas using truck-mounted power sweepers, usually overnight so customers and tenants are never disrupted. Midwest Maintenance Services has provided parking lot sweeping across the Chicago area since 1982.

Your parking lot is the first thing customers, tenants and inspectors see. A lot covered in cups, cigarette butts, glass and winter grit makes even a well-run property look neglected, and debris near drains and curbs quickly becomes a slip, trip and liability issue.

Our power sweeping crews work overnight or during off-peak hours on a schedule built around your property: nightly, several times a week, weekly or on-call. Every visit includes hand-policing of landscape beds, corners and curb lines that a sweeper can’t reach, plus emptying of exterior trash receptacles if you choose.

Parking Lot Sweeping FAQs

How often should a commercial parking lot be swept?

Most retail centers and restaurants need sweeping two to seven nights per week. Office and industrial properties are often well served by weekly sweeping. We recommend a schedule after a free site walk based on traffic, tenant mix and seasonal debris.

Do you sweep at night?

Yes. Most of our sweeping is performed overnight or in early-morning hours so the lot is clean before customers and tenants arrive.

What is included besides the sweeper?

Every visit includes hand-policing of areas a sweeper can’t reach. Trash receptacle service, fly-dump removal and free inspection reports are also available.
