  Street Cleaning
  Street Cleaning MachineThe Cambridge Street Cleaning Program allows for each of the streets in Cambridge to be swept once each month. There is an annual street cleaning schedule and street cleaning district map that is issued in February of each year for the street cleaning which takes place from April 1 through December 31. That schedule lists the 10 street cleaning districts in Cambridge with the day of the week by month that street cleaning has been scheduled. Signs are also posted on each of the Cambridge streets with the specific day and week of the month that street cleaning will take place. In addition, on the morning of the street cleaning for those streets that are to be cleaned there is a loudspeaker announcement just to remind the residents of the street cleaning that will take place during that day. The street cleaning is usually scheduled for between 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. each day. If there are vehicles on any City street which is scheduled to be cleaned those vehicles will be tagged and towed. If a car has been towed the please call the Cambridge Police Department at (617) 349-3300.

During extremely heavy rains or other inclement weather the DPW may be forced to cancel Street Cleaning. To avoid the tagging and towing of your vehicle please call the Cambridge Public Works Department at (617) 349-4800 for cancellation confirmation.
