South End cleanup this weekend


A reminder that South End cleanup is this weekend - Saturday, November 14th.


This is similar to the Springtime Boston Shines effort, but on a smaller scale. While Eight Streets doesn’t organize a neighborhood-wide cleanup, we encourage everyone to get out and cleanup in front of their homes. Ever little bit makes our neighborhood cleaner.

If any street or group of residents wants to hold their own mini-cleanup that day, let me know ASAP and I’ll let the city know so they can have extra supplies on hands. Rakes, brooms, shovels and garbage bags are made available at the BCA plaza from 9am-noon, but if you don’t let me know you’ll be cleaning up, they may be short on supplies.

Street sweepers will be around on Saturday, but there will be no special towing. DPW will be making trash pickups that day. Have anything to pick up out by 11am; preferably at a corner where DPW can spot it easily.

Yard Waste

Yard wastes (Leaves, etc) are now picked up on Recycle Day. Place yard waste curbside by 7am on recycle day (Tuesday for ESNA). Yard waste must be in Paper Bags or Open Barrels (Yard waste in garbage bags will be taken away as trash). Yard waste will be picked up in this manner every Tuesday through December 4th (Dec 1 last ESNA yard waste pickup).
