Spring clean-up continues after a short break due to the weather.
Sweeping of main streets in Hafnarfjörður began at the end of March and will continue until 5 May. The sweeping was delayed by a few days due to snowfall and frost, but now the spring sunshine is back. Pavements will be swept between 1 April and 10 May, island cleaning will take place from 7 to 13 April, and the sweeping and washing of car parks will be carried out from 25 to 30 April. Water jetting of main streets is scheduled for early May. Residents are encouraged to take an active part.

The town is divided into 14 neighbourhoods.
As before, the town is divided into 14 wards, which are signposted the day before collection with a notice of the planned collection. The spring clean began in the centre of Hafnarfjörður on Friday, 1 April, and will conclude with the collection of streets in Völlunum on Thursday, 5 May.
Let's take an active part and ensure a good sweep!
We ask residents to take an active part in the spring clean so that it is as successful as possible. It is essential to have the streets clear of cars on the day of the sweep so that the kerb edges can be swept. Residents and staff of businesses in Hafnarfjörður can take the opportunity to sweep around their own premises at the same time. This will make the whole area look much tidier.
Zonal redistribution of suction
A work schedule is followed, which involves sweeping all neighbourhoods between 1 April and 5 May. The schedule is shown on the map below, and residents can plan their own schedules and neighbourhoods around this timetable. The work plan is subject to change, primarily due to weather (frost) and delays with the contractor responsible for the sweeping.
