sweeper
Clears the debris
A sweeper is a person or device that sweeps—cleaning floors, streets, or other surfaces by brushing debris away.
The street sweeper comes through every Tuesday morning.
In soccer, a sweeper is a defensive player positioned behind the main line of defenders, responsible for clearing balls that get past teammates.
The term extends to anything that moves across an area systematically: a minesweeper clears explosives, and in cricket, a sweep shot sends the ball across the field.
