Belmont Suspends Yard Waste Collection for Full Week of June 29–July 3
Belmont residents should leave their yard waste bins at the curb this week — the town has suspended collection for the entire period of June 29 through July 3, a notice posted to the town's homepage confirms.
TOWN HALL
The Department of Public Works will not collect yard waste during the week of June 29 through July 3. The town posted the alert prominently on its homepage, urging residents to hold material until the following collection cycle. No other active News Flash items fell within the coverage window; previously posted items — including the June 2026 Town Administrator's Bulletin and a construction notice from DPW — remain available on the town website for residents who missed them.
COMING UP
Two municipal meetings are scheduled for Tuesday, June 30: the Board of Assessors will convene in person, and the Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee will also meet. Both appear on the town's online calendar at belmont-ma.gov. Additionally, the Arlington Independence Day Concert and Picnic is listed on the Belmont Patch community calendar for July 4, as is the Bo and Bill Winiker Band Concert and Fireworks Spectacular — options for Belmont families looking to mark the holiday close to home.
