Trash Talk: Trash Program Forms Close October 31 — Cart Swapping Starts the Week of November 9
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.

Hiraeth: A New Series of Works by Ryan Davis — Opening Reception November 5 at Grand Banks
Local artist Ryan Davis has a new series of works called “Hiraeth” — a Welsh word describing a deep melancholic longing for home, an era, or a place that is irrevocably lost, or perhaps never truly was.
The new series is inspired by the place Ryan calls home, and the memories, landscapes, and sense of belonging that shape it.
Join Grand Banks for the opening reception on Thursday, November 5, from 6 to 8 PM at Grand Banks Building Products, 7 Crafts Road, Gloucester. This is an RSVP event — light food and refreshments will be served.
