General Street Cleaning
Maintaining a clean appearance in Kettering is important to us!
Keeping the roadways free of illegal signs, deceased animals
and large debris are an integral part of street cleaning.
Thoroughfares are checked frequently and the Street Department
also accepts requests.

When a deceased animal, which is a pet, is retrieved; breed, color
and location of pick up are recorded. This information is kept on file
for approximately (30) days. If a collar with identity tags is present,
Animal Control will be notified at (937) 296-3266.

Private or commercial signs cannot be placed in the City
right-of-way (ROW). The ROW is the area of land between
the road edge and the sidewalk. If there is no sidewalk present,
contact the Engineering Department to determine ROW width.

Street Sweeping

The Street Department is responsible
for the daily maintenance of 242+ miles
of road! Clean streets and gutters not
only give the City an overall clean
appearance, but aid in reduction
of traffic accidents and air pollution
caused by fine dust particles or debris
on the roadway.

Cleaning streets and gutters also prevents blockage of storm
drainage system. Debris in the storm drains lead to costly repairs,
cleaning, and often times flooding.Excessive rain and temperatures
below 36 degrees restrict street sweeping operations at times.
