Dublin City Street Sweeping Schedule
The City Council has just published the street sweeping schedule, which may be of interest.
Essentially, the 3,500 streets in Dublin are organised into 4 categories that determine how often they are swept. The highest footfall streets (such as Grafton St) are attended to at least daily, while smaller, less busy, streets are swept quarterly.
