Abstract	Street cleaning is a solid waste management system in which public awareness play important role. The air pollutant of microscopic size creates lot of problem to the human body. The dust particles, soil is dangerous for health. They are responsible for many diseases like likes irritation of the eyes, coughing, sneezing, high fever, asthma attacks etc. (Kumar & Kumar, 2019). To reduce the overflowing production of solid waste, the researchers created an eco-friendly Modular and Compact Sweeper Attachment which has the mechanism to clean concrete surfaces and waste, especially leaves. This study was conducted via true experimental research to know the effectiveness of the researchers made Sweeper Attachment in terms of Structural Integrity, Efficiency and Type of Waste. According to the first-hand experience of the researchers, the Sweeper Attachment was made up of 3 main parts; the Arm, Fork and Storage. These materials are found only in the research locale, Cristo Rey, Capas, Tarlac. The researchers were able to create and innovate an attachment that can attach to a bicycle. Based on the findings of the observation; in order to properly drive this innovation, the passenger’s height must fall into 155-170 centimeters which is a limit for a safe cleaning experience. In which, the vehicle of the Sweeper Attachment needs to be enhanced in order to be applicable for cleaners to use this product that has no limit in height. In conclusion, the researchers recommend to the future researchers to use a Stroller or Push Cart in order to maximize its capability for the residents and staffs to gather, push and clean solid waste. With this, the Sweeper Attachment’s effectiveness will become more accurate and will gain a better understanding on how its mechanism behind it, works.
