Reminder: Street Cleaning is Back!
It’s that time of year again! Birds are chirping. It’s staying light out later and the big yellow street sweeper will be cleaning your neighborhood streets on April 1st. So be warned, parking restrictions associated with street cleaning begins this week. A schedule and information is available here! Southie residents can also register for “No Tow,” a service provided by the city for residents to be reminded by email when their street is scheduled for cleaning. That’s so helpful! This also applies to DCR and Day Blvd., Columbia Road and Old Colony Ave. So take notice, Southie! Watch the signs!

Composting Bin on West Broadway
Have you seen the the colorful bin at 450 W. Broadway in Southie? This bing offers residents a place to drop off food scraps for composting. The city of Boston’s Project Oscar Community Composting has nine locations throughout the city. Make sure to check out the list of items accepted and not accepted here! Food waste has the potential to create a rich, black soil that helps plants grow. Composting food waste reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills. It also helps the environment by enriching soil, giving new plants nutrients to grow.
Be informed. Get involved.
