Residents can call the RCSD office at 562-430-3707 or Street Sweeping Corp of America at 562-861-4606. District personnel will do every thing possible to resolve the matter. Very often, situations are beyond the control of the District.  If it is a sweeping issue, the District will notify the street sweeping company and attempt to get a response to a resident’s complaint. Parking citation and enforcement issues must be dealt with through the Orange County Sheriffs Department. Please follow the instructions on the back of your citation.

Since only one Parking Enforcement Officer is deployed during street sweeping days, the officer can only attempt to follow one sweeper during the day. Many communities utilize one or more officer per street sweeper, thus minimizing the number of missed cars or citing of vehicles after the street has been swept.

Rossmoor is somewhat unique in that the streets are laid out in a manner that would make sweeping alternate sides of the street infeasible without signage indicating days and hours of street sweeping. It has been estimated that it would take about 7000 signs located approximately in front of every three or four homes to make the change. Also a new contract would have to be negotiated for dedicated street sweepers on more than two days per month. This would increase costs for street sweeping, fabricating and installing signs and be considered by some to be sign blight throughout the community.

There are many reasons. a) operator error, b) parked cars, c) construction vehicles blocking access to cul-de-sacs, d) parents dropping off school children, e) utility/road work on streets causing an obstruction to the route.

The RCSD receives no revenue from street sweeping. All monies collected by this process are deposited in the County’s General Fund.

Street sweeping is intended to clean what naturally is present on the street. Too often, residents or their gardeners will blow all of the grass cuttings, leaves and small branches from pruning into the street. Vacuum street sweepers used in Rossmoor will clog when there is excess material or branches in the street. Residents should bag and dispose of in trash cans all materials from their yards. Also, over watering causes standing water which mixes with debris in the gutter. This can cause health issues such as the breeding of mosquitoes. Further, wet leaves substantially add to the weight and volume of materials which must be disposed of.
