🎃 Halloween in Arlington - Here’s the Scoop! 🎃 We’re so excited… Halloween falls on a Friday this year! 👻 But in case there are questions (because there always are), here’s your quick rundown:

- Halloween is October 31.
- It’s not a Town holiday — we’ll still be hard at work that day and trash will still run!
- Trick-or-treating? Totally up to you, but we recommend doing it on, well… Halloween.
- If it rains? It’s still October 31. (Umbrellas pair great with costumes, promise.)
- Not into door-to-door? Check out one of the many Trunk or Treat events happening around Town — including the Town’s own event on Thursday, October 30 at Forrest Street Park (www.townofarlington.org/o/arlington/page/trunk-or-treat)!

Happy haunting, Arlington!

✅ What's getting cleaned?
• All public curbed streets (daytime)
• Major intersections + Town lots (overnight)

This takes about 5–7 days to cover the whole Town. Crews usually begin on the west side of town and move east, but exact day-by-day schedules vary with weather and progress.

🚫 REMINDER: Please avoid parking on the street until your area has been swept. Once cleaned, you’re in the clear!

Let’s keep storm drains clear, roads tidy, and Arlington beautiful - together!
