Street Sweeping Begins This Week In Arlington

ARLINGTON, MA — Got a car on the street? Time to check when your street gets a sweep or you may get a ticket or towed or worse: Your street might not get cleaned. It's that time of year again. For the next eight weeks the street sweepers will be out and about sweeping debris.

The Public Works Department begins the Town-wide Fall Street Sweeping the week of November 13.

"To help us perform the best possible job, please park your cars off-street during your scheduled week," reads the DPW press release.

The Town bylaw, Prohibition Against Obstructing Public Ways, forbids Arlington residents from depositing debris in public ways. That means get your cars.

Parked cars prevent a clean sweep. The DPW will not return to sweep streets due to cars parked during the initial visit.

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