Know Your Recycling Options
As of October 7, 2011, the City of Boston is no longer accepting requests for large blue recycling carts. Instead, convert an unneeded container into a recycling bin with a City recycling sticker, use clear plastic bags to put out your recycling (select neighborhoods only), or continue using small blue recycling bins or the large carts.

Potholes
During the winter months, the freeze / thaw cycle can cause pavement to crack so that it deteriorates quickly under the weight of traffic.
