Medford Fall Street Sweeping 2020: Schedule, Parking Restrictions

MEDFORD, MA — Fall street sweeping in Medford will start Thursday, Nov. 12. The fall "Big Sweep" will clear leaves and debris from streets and catch basins over several weeks, allowing for proper draining of water, snow and ice.

The Department of Public Works conducts two "Big Sweeps" of all secondary roads twice each year, once in the spring and once in the fall. This year, due to COVID-19, the spring sweep was canceled.

Street sweeping will be conducted Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. 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, residents should make sure they are signed up, with the correct street address, for the city's Reverse 911 call and email system.

Residents who have not checked or confirmed their address in the city's system since August 2020 are encouraged to do so. You can log in or sign up at www.medfordma.org/alerts, email alerts@medford-ma.gov, or call Jackie Piques at 781-393-2529 to check your address.
