From the City of Gloucester:

Reminder that the trash forms are now live. If you would like to request a senior discount, swap sizes, opt out of the program, or sign a new residence up to receive service, go to: https://gloucester-ma.gov/1659/Forms

These forms are available until October 31st, 2026. If you have trouble making an account on OpenGov to access the form, the City’s website has a step-by-step walkthrough, and there’s a visual walk-through in the pinned post on the City’s Facebook page.

If you are requesting different cart sizes, you will not get your new carts until after the forms are completely closed and the requests are processed. Swapping will start the week of November 9th, so do not expect your new trash and recycling cart sizes until then.

For questions about the new program, reach out to the Department of Public Works at (978) 325-5600.

From the City of Gloucester:

Starting Monday, November 2nd, MassDOT will be working on the Centennial Ave Bridge. The bridge will be closed and traffic will be rerouted after the school commute. The bridge will reopen at 2:00 PM to facilitate the commute out of GHS. This work is expected to take a couple of days, so the City thanks you for your patience.

The city shared this one — the state’s 2026 Community Health Equity Survey is open through November. It’s anonymous, takes about 15 to 30 minutes, and it’s open to anyone 12 and up. It asks about your experiences with health care, housing, transportation, and the other things that shape health here — and the answers help decide where programs and funding go.
