Medford’s 2022 Street Sweeping To Begin April 19

MEDFORD, MA — The Medford DPW will conduct spring 2022 street sweeping on secondary roads and side streets over the course of several weeks, beginning on Tuesday, April 19.

In the interest of public health and public safety, street sweeping is conducted to clear leaves and debris from streets and catch basins, allowing for proper drainage of water, snow and ice, and making sure that the city's streets are clean and safe.

The DPW conducts two “Big Sweep” events of all secondary roads twice each year, once in the spring and once in the fall.

Street sweeping will generally be conducted Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Cars that remain parked on the streets designated for that day will be subject to enforcement, including ticketing and towing.

Street sweeping is divided into 14 zones with one zone conducted each day. The full schedule, including a map and a list of all 14 zones can be found at www.medfordma.org/street-sweeping.

In the event of heavy rain or severe weather, sweeping may be cancelled on a particular day, and would be rescheduled for the end of the regular schedule. All updates will be posted on www.medfordma.org as well as the City’s social media feeds.

To be notified of specific dates of street sweeping in your neighborhood, sign up at www.medfordma.org/alerts or email alerts@medford-ma.gov.
