Medford's 2023 Street Sweeping To Begin April 24

MEDFORD, MA – The Medford Department of Public Works will conduct spring 2023 “Big Sweep” street sweeping on all secondary roads and side streets over the course of several weeks, beginning on April 24.

In the interest of public health and public safety, spring street sweeping will continue over several weeks to clear leaves and debris from streets and catch basins, allowing for proper drainage of water and making sure that Medford’s streets are clean and safe.

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

Street sweeping will run from Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.

• Zone 1 – Monday, April 24
• Zone 2 – Tuesday, April 25
• Zone 3 – Wednesday, April 26
• Zone 4 – Thursday, April 27
• Zone 5 – Friday, April 28
• Zone 6 – Monday, May 1
• Zone 7 – Wednesday, May 3
• Zone 8 – Tuesday, May 2
• Zone 9 – Thursday, May 4
• Zone 10 – Friday, May 5

In the event of heavy rain or severe weather, sweeping may be canceled on that 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.

There is no parking on the designated street while sweeping is taking place between 8 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Cars that remain parked on the streets designated for that day will be subject to enforcement, including ticketing and towing.

Parking will be allowed on main roads from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the Spring Street Sweeping schedule.
