Description
Street cleaner is a professional whose job is to sweep and clean streets, squares, gardens, spaces and, in general, public spaces in the open air so that they are hygienic and healthy, collecting vegetation remains (normally leaves) and other waste such as paper, plastic or organic waste. The cleaning of streets and squares also includes watering streets and other areas where dirt accumulates, such as around municipal markets or shopping streets.
The role of this professional derives from the need to maintain urban spaces in healthy conditions. As the process of urbanisation has consolidated and the production of waste has increased, the demands for the correct management of street cleaning have become more and more important and, consequently, the figure of this professional has become essential. These professionals usually work in large companies holding concessions from the administration that provide street cleaning services in one or more towns.
