Help reduce litter! Stop the OVERFLOW!
In an effort to reduce litter in the city, our hauler and the Health Department have teamed to enforce city ordinances regarding overflow of trash and recycling carts.
If the holidays are producing more trash and recycling or you just cannot seem to stay within the limits of the carts, do not overflow your carts at curbside or they will be rejected.
Arrangements for additional disposal options are available and can be arranged by calling the Health Department at 978-829-1870.
Lets work together to keep our great city clean and free of litter and debris!
Tobacco 21 is here in Fitchburg
Effective January 1, 2019 ,you must be 21 to purchase Tobacco and Nicotine Delivery Products in Fitchburg as per unanimous vote of the Fitchburg Board of Health.
Although the Commonwealth of Massachusetts regulation contains a Grandfather Clause, which allows anyone 18 years of age by January 1, 2019 to purchase these products, the Fitchburg Board of Health recognized the confusion that may be created by this legislation and voted to impose no Grandfathering.
There has been concern regarding the new Ward 5 Polling location at Saima Park on Scott Rd in Ward 5A.
Concerns have included distance to travel, cost of rental (we pay $800/election), transportation to the election location etc.
Please see this correspondence regarding evaluation of alternative sites and reasoning why these sites were not chosen. If you have further suggestions, please share...and for more info, see the entire document packet here.

This morning at 9am, 2,403 wreaths were laid for Wreaths Across America - Official Page to Remember and Honor our veterans through the laying of Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes and the act of saying the name of each and every veteran aloud at the Mass Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Winchendon. Hundreds of people joined in the cold to lay the thousands of wreaths. I am so grateful I was able to attend & help lay wreaths with them. I saw many Fitchburg friends there as well <3

❤️Honor those who serve.
