street-sweeper
Municipal pavement tidier
A street-sweeper is a person or machine that cleans streets, removing debris, leaves, and litter from road surfaces.
The machine version is a specialized vehicle with rotating brushes and vacuum systems: The street-sweeper comes through every Tuesday morning.
Street-sweeper is also slang for a shotgun with a revolving cylinder, from its indiscriminate spread.
