Charles Brooks of Newark, New Jersey invented improvements to street sweeper trucks that he patented on March 17, 1896. His truck had revolving brushes attached to the front fender and the brushes were interchangeable with scrapers that could be used in winter for snow removal. Charles Brook also designed an improved refuse receptacle for storing the collected garbage and litter and a wheel drive for the automatic turning of the brushes and for powering a lifting mechanism for the scrapers.
Happy Black History Month!
Keep Fresh And Have Fun.

You will notice how the street sweeper truck evolves as time goes by. Its design and performance has built up in the past years. The modern designs that we have today have great features to make the cleaning process easier, faster, and more efficient. Hybrid street sweeper trucks are the latest. They are known for making cleaner roads and cleaner air at the same time because of their ability to filter even minute dusts in the road.
