What we do

We clean the streets of Milan, respecting the principles of circular economy and traffic needs

Cleaning streets and urban areas is driven by our commitment to protect the environment today and tomorrow. For this reason, collected waste is treated in the sweeping waste recovery plant in Milan, Via Silla, to obtain sand and gravel with very high quality standards for use in construction and certified according to UNI standards.

Type and frequency of operations

Each urban area requires specific methods suited to different situations

Below we have compiled all the types of cleaning services we use for your city. For each one, you will find the frequency of the operation. 

How cleaning takes place

Milan’s traffic and cleaning needs are constantly evolving

Cleaning streets and urban areas requires us to constantly improve our techniques and the equipment we use. We strive to always be at the forefront to meet the new needs of cities and the new opportunities they offer citizens.

Comprehensive sweeping

Street and pavement cleaning and washing with the use of the “Sweepy-Jet” system: a lance with pressurised water patented by Amsa that makes it possible to clean even under parked cars, avoiding parking restrictions. 

Area sweeper

Constant presence of an operator with a trolley to maintain cleanliness in semi-central and peripheral areas where there are commercial businesses and high pedestrian and cycle traffic.

Massive sweeping

Mechanised cleaning and washing of the roadway adjacent to the pavement, at night, with routes protected by parking restrictions.

 

Fine sweeping

Mechanised and manual cleaning of roads and pavements.

Emptying containers

Emptying of containers in the area and removal of waste on the ground near them. Each bin is emptied at least once a day.

Pavement cleaning

Cleaning of tunnels and arcades

Cleaning of tree rows
