Spring Street Sweeping to Begin March 30

The Arlington Public Works Department will begin the Town-wide spring street sweeping operation on March 30.
Weather permitting, the spring sweep should conclude mid-late May.

It is OK to brush sand from sidewalks into streets for sweepers to collect. However, according to the Town bylaw, Prohibition Against Obstructing Public Ways, it is forbidden to deposit other debris in public ways. The town asks that you please park your cars off-street during your scheduled week.

The Town posts the street sweeping schedule online and will be updating it weekly (Mondays) until the spring sweep is completed.  You can view this schedule and find out what route your street is on at arlingtonma.gov/streetsweeping.

For fun, let’s see what a Russian street-sweeper looks like:
