The idea that medieval people left sewage in their streets is mythology.
In general, medieval people believed that diseases were spread by bad air, called "miasma," and so they tried to clean up anything that would smell. There were some people or places that were exceptional and allowed smelly messes to accumulated, but they were uncommon.
After the Middle Ages, there were certain social issues that showed decline, rather than the rebirth we associate with the Renaissance. A good example, which is fairly easy to document, is an increase in superstition leading to witch hunts, which only began with the Renaissance, and were illegal for most of the Middle Ages. But research into hygiene produces a similar result. Where medieval people bathed often, people of the Renaissance believed bathing was unhealthy, and so they only cleaned those parts of their bodies that could be seen, and relied on using perfume and changing clothes for the rest; this also is fairly easy to document. Though I find less in the historic record to support it, Renaissance people seem also to have been less willing to deal with issues of sewage than their medieval predecessors. Today, people often take a simplistic view that everything improved during the Renaissance, and so bad hygiene, like witch hunts, is associated with the Middle Ages.
There is a link below to the history section of an article on bathing, which illustrates the decline in hygiene from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.

∙ 13y agoI don't think they shouted anything. It was common practice and everyone knew that it could happen as they walked down the street. It is one reason the custom started that a woman walks on the inside when walking with a man, so the man would be hit instead of her.
Gross.
they catapulted all sorts of things.... dead animals, plagued bodies, really big rocks, etc.
Street cleaner? They really didn't have clean streets then. In fact, they were muddy, full of animal and human waste, and anything else that fell on it. People would open their windows and throw the garbage out onto the street. If they were on a upper floor it fell on heads of people walking down the street. It was a pretty stinky time and frankly people had more to do to stay alive than worry about a clean street.

People drop cigarette butts in the street. Rain washes them into drains, which run into rivers and finally to the ocean.Factories put toxic chemicals into rivers …Cars drop oil on roadways. Rain washes this into streams and rivers …Street litter like plastic bags and bottles get caught in a rainstorm and down the drains …Ocean fishers throw their tangled nets overboard.Ships throw their rubbish and sewage into the oceans.Oil tankers make foolish mistakes and break up on rocks, spilling their cargo.
