Arlington’s Town-Wide Fall Street Sweep Begins Oct. 31

ARLINGTON, MA — Arlington’s Department of Public Works (DPW) will begin its annual town-wide fall street sweeping program on Monday, Oct. 31.

Crews will start with route one and go in numerical order until finished. Depending on the weather, a town-wide sweep typically takes 8-10 weeks to complete.

DPW crews are currently out testing sweepers and sweeping some of the heavy areas and will continue over the next few weeks. They will go back through these routes when their route is scheduled during the official sweep.

Workers have already begun weekly, overnight sweeping of main roads and will continue until the fall town-wide sweep has completed.

The town is asking residents to avoid placing trash and recycling in the street and parking cars off- street during their scheduled weeks.
