A street sweeping system typically comprises brooms, a conveyor system and a collection hopper. Most sweepers employ one or two main brooms that rotate against the direction of the vehicle's travel. These brooms agitate the debris on the road surface, which is then swept up by a vacuum or mechanical conveyance into the hopper. Depending on the model, street sweepers can use air jets to dislodge stubborn debris, while others use water sprays to keep dust levels down. The collected debris is stored in the hopper until ready to be emptied, usually at designated waste disposal sites.
