Residential streets in Skokie are divided into four quadrants, with one street sweeper assigned to each section. It takes approximately five to seven days to sweep each section. It is difficult to determine exactly when a particular street or concrete alley will be swept due to external factors that influence the schedule. Multi-family residential areas are cleaned monthly, beginning on the first full week of the month on Wednesday and Thursday. The days and times of the street cleanings will be posted on parkways with cardboard signs 48 hours before cleaning.
