Boston winters bring snow, ice, and challenging conditions. Residents play an important role in keeping collections efficient, safe, and on schedule during winter weather by following a few simple guidelines.
Why it Matters
Winter conditions already slow down collection operations and make it more difficult for our contractors to safely access streets and service collection points. Clear, visible, and properly placed trash and recycling help crews move efficiently through our neighborhoods while reducing safety risks and preventing missed pickups. As keeping our workers safe during inclement weather is our top priority, we appreciate residents’ cooperation and thank everyone for doing their part to help keep our city clean and our collection crews safe.
By taking a few extra steps during winter weather, Boston residents can help keep neighborhoods clean and collection running smoothly all season long.
