Street Sweeping

Public Works has started spring clean up and sweeping. The sweeping has begun on the North Windham corridor, then will move to the Central Windham corridor, and finally to the South Windham Villarge area. Developments will be swept in the same order after the main corridors are completed.

If you plan to sweep off the grass in front of your business or place of residency, please do so as Public Works will be working through these areas as the weather permits. Thank You.

Leaves and Brush

Public Works will be opening the leaf and brush drop off for a three week period of time as soon as the snow melts and the ground hardens in that area.

We will post the dates in advance on this web site, the Town Managers website home page, through e-households, on channel 7, and also in the Lakes Region Weekly and the Windham Independent newspapers.
