A mobile sweeping machine, comprising:
- a rotationally driven rotary brush which is mounted in a housing,
- a dirt collection container which can be detachably connected to the housing,
- a dirt inlet opening located adjacent to the rotary brush in the dirt collection container,
- guide elements for guiding insertion of the dirt collection container, said guide elements being formed by strip-type projections on said dirt collection container and a groove in said housing, said strip-type projections adapted to be inserted into the groove,
- wherein:
- the dirt collection container is configured as a drawer, which can be laterally inserted into the housing via the guide elements,
- said drawer can be fixed in an inserted position relative to the housing,
- the groove and the strip-type projections are semicircular, and
