A clean sweep! City's new street sweepers make their debut

Published on September 11, 2024

Yesterday afternoon was awash in excitement as two of the City's 12 new street sweepers stopped by Old City Hall for their official unveiling.

The formidable fleet will help clean up dirt, debris and trash from major streets for a cleaner, safer and greener Fort Worth.

City dignitaries and staff members gathered to celebrate the sweepers' much anticipated arrival.

Judging by their reaction, we think it's safe to say the crowd was swept away by the shiny new fleet.
