Tomorrow! (duh) - LAST CHANCE TO SUPPORT BEFORE THE SHOW! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

🇺🇸🇺🇸 Friends, our annual INDEPENDENCE DAY PARADE is almost here - coming at you on (you guess it) this Friday, July 4th. There are so many exciting sights in store for you, so make sure you plan ahead! Of course, we will also be there to stream / record the parade in its entirety, should you be away (or just want to watch from the best angles possible 😉)

In the meantime, please please please consider supporting the parade in the days to come. These performances are free to the public, but not without the cost of so much time, energy, and planning from all involved - from the acts themselves to everyone who makes this possible behind the scenes. Your contribution of any size helps to keep this tradition alive and exciting, preserving Wakefield as one of the best places to be on the 4th of July - yes, even compared to Cape Cod 😉😉

📣🗑PSA! WAKEFIELD:

Trash and Recycling Updates June 28, 2025:

The Wakefield Public Works Department has some important updates about our upcoming trash and recycling collection.

First, the Independence Day holiday will delay service, as is typical on a holiday week. The collection for Friday, July 4, will shift to Saturday.

In addition, our hauler, Republic Services, is currently in contract negotiations with its employees, whose contract expires on Monday, June 30. Should contract resolution not be achieved between those parties, and Republic is unable to fulfill its collection duties, Wakefield’s Public Works Department is prepared to temporarily provide the trash and recycling collection service that Wakefield residents expect. The Department has developed a plan to secure equipment and will reorganize their staff to avoid disruption, should it be necessary.

Over the next week, please ensure your trash and recycling bins are curbside by 7 a.m. on your scheduled day. In the case where Public Works needs to perform residential trash and recycling collection, your actual pickup time may be different from what you experienced in the past. Having your bin out at 7 a.m. will ensure you don’t miss the collection.

If crews do not collect as expected on your scheduled day, please leave your barrels out and staff will collect as soon as possible. Similarly, bulky items, which require a sticker, will still be collected, though it may not be at the speed at which you are accustomed.

Again, this plan will only be in effect should Republic not reach an agreement with its staff, and only on a temporary basis. The contract negotiations are between Republic and its employees, not Republic and the many area communities it services. Our goal is to avoid any service disruption for Wakefield residents. Thanks for your patience as we work through this fluid situation.
