The Street Sweeping Program is designed to collect sand debris—not to collect yard waste.
Do Not Place Leaf or Brush Piles In the Street
Obey posted “No Parking” signs--Violators may be ticketed $50.00 and towed.
Beginning Tuesday, April 13, 2021, DPW&P will begin residential street sweeping in Routes 23 and 24 shown in the green shaded areas on the map online at the following link: http://www.worcesterma.gov/streets/spring-street-sweeping
These street sweeping areas are bounded by Eureka Street, Main Street, Stafford Street, Heard Street, Knox Street, and by Ludlow Street, Apricot Street, Goddard Memorial Drive, Parsons Hill Drive, and Ledgecrest Drive.
Residents in the sweeping area should sweep sidewalk debris into the street. Yard waste must not be placed in the street. Yard Waste will not be collected and violators may be fined.
The DPW&P sweeps residential side streets from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday.
