Wellesley DPW

Final day of hydrant flushing!

We are halfway through Hydrant Flushing!

Drop off yard waste at the RDF! Use paper bags for leaves/grass, follow size requirements for brush, and place wood in the designated area. Check signage to ensure proper disposal.

Hydrant flushing begins today!

Imagine a day without water!

Starting Monday, October 20, we'll be performing crack-sealing work on Washington Street as part of our ongoing pavement preservation efforts.

Site maintenance for stormwater protection is important !

Fall hydrant flushing is around the corner!

Leaves left in the street can clog storm drains and lead to localized flooding.

This fall, try leaf recycling! Mulch them into your lawn, add to garden beds, or compost them. You'll reduce waste, improve soil health, and need less fertilizer. Nature's doing the work—let it!

Take control of your water use and lower your bill! The new Water Customer Portal gives you 24/7 access to track your water consumption and catch leaks early.

We apologize for any inconvenience and the late notice.

Please plan your route accordingly and allow extra travel time. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

The DPW and RDF will be closed Monday, October 13th in observance of Indigenous Peoples Day. Regular hours resume on Tuesday.

Make recycling and waste management easier than ever! The Wellesley RDF App puts sustainable waste solutions right at your fingertips.

On going sidewalk construction!

Routine sweeping, spot-cleaning spills, and keeping dumpsters tidy go a long way toward protecting water quality.
Clean lots aren’t just good for business in Wellesley, they help meet environmental regs and keep our waterways clear.

We are in a level 1 Drought! The State Drought Management Task Force will meet next week to evaluate current conditions and determine whether to maintain, increase, or lift restrictions. Drought status is declared by the State, not the Town.

Fall preparation is underway!

Bringing your banned materials to the RDF? Make sure they end up in the right place by following the facility map. Your old mattress, paint cans, and electronics all have designated drop-off zones.

Help protecting our waterways!

Rain carries pollutants from your site straight to the nearest waterway. Prevent contamination by labeling materials, containing leaks, and training employees to respond fast.

Level 1 drought in Wellesley!

Time to finally tackle those items that have been waiting in storage! Remember to bring any banned materials to the RDF to recycle in the right location - from old appliances to yard waste, there's a proper spot for everything. Clear your space & help the environment this season!
