Please note: The schedule for hazardous waste and yard waste collection is created by our Environmental Services Coordinator in collaboration with DPW and City vendors, and is typically released in March as part of the Trash and Recycling Guide. We will publish the guide to the Trash and Recycling Information page as soon as it’s available, and all Somerville residents will receive a copy in the mail.
Programs & Initiatives
