Springfield Department of Public Works

****ATTENTION RESIDENTS****

MassDOT will be holding a meeting on April 8, 2026 at 6:30 pm to provide an update on the status of the "X" reconstruction project.

Please see the attached flyer for specific information.

***MISINFORMATION****

Between yesterday and today, we have received a number of calls from residents who did not put their trash out because they "googled" if trash collection was going to be delayed due to the storm on Monday, and the AI response stated that trash is being delayed by one day.

100% MISINFORMATION!!!!

If trash is ever delayed it will be posted on out page, website and also through the Mayor's Office of Communication.

*****Please be aware that when you try to google a statement like "Is Springfield's trash delayed?" you get the answer shown on the picture---that response is for Springfield, Missouri---not Springfield, Massachusetts! There are 50+ Springfield's in the United States---so please google correctly!

If your trash is missed due to following resident errors like this we will not come back to collet!

Thanks you for your assistance!
