  • Several hours of time and effort to get your car out of the impound lot
  • or

More Anti Info

You can check out the street sweeping map to see if you ever park in a sweeping zone or the street sweeping calender to check when messages will be going out.

Please keep in mind that in order for us to be able to provide you with this service, we have to pay for it somehow. We are advertiser supported, so you might see an ad or two at the bottom of an alert. You will only receive 4-6 messages a month per subscription area and we promise not to spam you.

We just got tired of setting our own reminders and alerts and decided to set up a simple solution to this problem.

While we don’t charge anything for this service, standard messaging charges apply.

You might also be interested in the official City of Columbus reference and street-sweeping schedule.

Finally, if you’re not in Columbus, contact us to bring street-sweeping alerts to your area.
