This year, Jamaica Plain's street sweeping days will align with trash and recycling days.
Street sweeping in Boston is back Bostonwide starting today. This year, many Boston neighborhoods will see a different daily schedule to better align with trash and recycling days, a pilot program that started in the South End last year.

Most posted street cleaning days will change by one day, according to the JPNC.
