The Importance of Sweeping & Sanitation during COVID-19

Over the past several months, essential businesses have remained opened to the public. Grocery stores and pharmacies have experienced increased foot traffic and sales as limited places are open and consumers rush to get everything they need. While employees work hard to keep the inside of the establishment clean, the outside of their store front often gets overlooked.  Read on to learn why parking lot sweeping and sanitation is more important than ever for the health of our communities and environment.

With increased traffic often comes increased litter and debris on parking lots and sidewalks, which in the era of COVID-19 mean a higher amount of littered gloves, masks and other personal protective equipment. The CDC and the U.S. federal government have identified power sweeping as an essential sanitation service. Professional power sweepers deeply clean the pavement and will collect and properly dispose of any hazardous materials. If left unaddressed, the accumulation of these personal items could create serious unsanitary conditions.

With every precaution being taken to reduce the spread of COVID-19, regular parking lot sweeping is crucial. Not only do these items pose a problem to every day customers, but to the environment as well. Without regular parking lot sweeping, it’s a high possibility that contaminated debris could enter storm drains and make its way into community waterways and drinking water supplies.
