Routes are generally swept sequentially, the last route being 35.

However, according to the Town bylaw, Prohibition Against Obstructing Public Ways, it is forbidden to deposit other debris in public ways. To help Public Works perform the best possible job, please park your cars off-street during your scheduled week. The Arlington town website has more information.
