Sewer System & Discharge Notifications
Worcester DPW Sewer Operations is responsible for the operation and management of sewer infrastructure, which includes three components:
Winter Weather
Our goal during a winter storm is to keep streets open, essential traffic moving, and return streets to safe traveling conditions as soon as possible. Please review the Winter Weather Guide for important information to help you through the winter.
Snow Removal
Keep Worcester Walking in Winter
Learn how to do your part to keep sidewalks, curb-cuts, and ramps clear of snow and ice.
Fall Leaf Collection
The City of Worcester is proud to offer fall leaf collection service to its residents because most communities do not provide curb side leaf collection. The DPW strives to reach the best possible balance when notifying the public of the upcoming leaf collection schedule. We wish to give residents enough notice to move their leaves into the street, but also not to impose longer than necessary on-street parking restrictions.
Spring Street Sweeping
The spring street sweeping program is not intended to collect leaves or yard waste. Yard waste should be brought to one of the City's Drop-Off Centers.
Green Hill Park Farm
The Green Hill Park Farm is home to various gentle farm animals and is a great place for families with children looking for a leisurely activity on a nice day. The farm is open year round and is located within Green Hill Park. The farm is free of charge and open to the public. Large groups wishing to visit should contact the Farm's Zookeeper at 508-799-1323 to arrange a visit.
Due to health and safety issues, NO FEEDING THE ANIMALS ALLOWED.
Animals at the Farm include:
Green Hill Golf Course
The Department of Parks, Recreation & Cemetery maintains and manages a par 72, 18-hole municipal golf course. City residents and non-City residents alike can enjoy an exciting and challenging round of golf along with industry standard amenities and services including golf skill training classes, events and Worcester's only driving range!
Trees in the City - Right Tree, Right Place
Trees enhance the beauty and value of homes, streets and communities. However, trees planted in the wrong place can cause property damage and become a detriment rather than an asset. Planning the location and species of a tree will ensure that the tree will be an asset and not grow into a hazard or a nuisance.
