DORCHESTER POSTED STREET SWEEPING REGULATIONS
CHANGES SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 2013
The Boston Public Works Department (PWD) will be implementing a new
schedule of street sweeping days for much of the Dorchester
neighborhood starting in April of 2013.
 The goal of the alterations is to provide mechanical street sweeping
services to more closely follow your residential trash collection
day. Currently, posted mechanical street sweeping does not
immediately follow the trash collection days in Dorchester.
- PWD will change many of the
street sweeping days in the neighborhood to more closely follow the
collection schedule. This will alleviate much of the litter
generated by the weekly residential trash collection in a faster and
more efficient manner.
- This will affect the days of sweeping but not the vast majority of the current posted hours.
- The Boston Transportation
Department will make the necessary changes over the Winter months to
the posted sweeping signs on the affected streets to reflect the new
street sweeping days which will begin in April of 2013.
- PLEASE MAKE NOTE OF THE POSTED
SIGNS INDICATING THE DAY FOR MECHANICAL SWEEPING ON YOUR STREET PRIOR
TO APRIL 1, 2013.
- Residents can assist by observing
the posted regulations and following the guidelines for proper trash
and recycling placement at curbside. Residents can also register
for street sweeping schedule notifications by accessing the KNOW TOW
link at www.cityofboston.gov.
- This effort is also being conducted over a two year period in 10 other neighborhoods across the City.
The Boston Publics Works Department is continuing to explore more
effective means of basic City service delivery in this challenging
fiscal climate.
