Best Public Works Department Worcester Near Me

Julia Bryant: They are amazing at not doing their job. They don’t take the trash and recycling half the time for no reason and will randomly change the rules without telling you, they barely plow the roads when it snows and you just have to wait for it to melt for the roads to be drivable, and they leave huge potholes for months/years. And whenever you call to complain or report things, they say it’ll be done and it never is. Also the trash bags get thinner every time yet somehow are more expensive.

Paula Asselta: Every time we have storm, ice, etc the city never sands the whole road (Loxwood St/ Bolton) good. This morning you could clearly see where they sanded good from top of road down to Taunton (where you see city truck parked at a house right there offen) then stopped. Please do the whole road good. Also Bolton needs extra because of hill. Car recently went through brand new fence other day. Thank you

Sara Campbell: I was so happy with the lovely DPW employee who was sweeping the streets on Friday, 12/17 in Tatnuck. He was amazing and wonderful - went above and beyond to help keep our street clean. Thank you :)

Paulette Polosh: You guys cant even take the trash bag out of the trash can???????? Im sorry but that's mediocre.

Joshua Martin: The city street sweeping and the way it is executed is atrocious. It is clearly unorganized and is solely meant to generate money for the city. Awful.

Mark Nesvet: when you hire sub contractors to do repairs on the streets you should have inspectors checking to made should that parts that are being repave must be done correctly or street that need to be completely should be done in a timely manner.

Joyce: Went for hazardous matl day June 2020 and one trip so far to drop off junk and workers were very kind and helpful.

Michael Legere: Always very responsive and super helpful . I love the Worcester dpw.In Worcester, typically firefighters, police, and veterans get all the kudos. There is a group of unsung heroes that get more negative comments than they deserve. They are the workers of the Worcester DPW. People are very quick to call them out publicly while their crews work around the clock patching roads, plowing snow while spending time away from their families. People whined that there was no fall leaf pickup. A DPW worker replied that they would have to raise costs of trash bags and other services to get spring pickup back.Do people not realize that money has to come from somewhere? I have called and voiced concerns about missed recycling and potholes. They dispatch someone to pickup recycling and went above and beyond on the pothole repair. They could have told me to go pound sand and done nothing. People need to recognize the DPW for the great work they do and be grateful that we at least have a leaf pickup. Not everywhere has that.They are the backbone of our great city and deserve more recognition. Worcester responded to an email at 2:45am Tuesday morning in the middle of the storm. If that isn’t selfless service, I don’t know what is. I was asleep in my bed and the DPW was working to keep me safe the next morning. Instead of dumping on them, maybe people should bring coffee and donuts to them.

Martin Murphy: The employees at the DPW respond quickly to problems, and even follow up later on to make sure everything is all set. Everyone there seems very kind.

Clown Princess of Fear: Absolutely the worst recycling system in the world I am appalled that I have made 3 complaints 2 of them with John and one of them with a young lady at the DPW and they have been as recent as January 16th all the way from November and we have had art recycling picked up once and only once and I'm getting to the point that these work orders are not doing anything and I am going to take charge of the situation I have photographic evidence of every single recycle day and I have at least 3 photos of them and crew loading 2 nights now I want somebody to get back to me in stop of aiding my calls or just doing work quarters or I'm going to be walking in with oh police officer and showing you that somebody is not doing their job whoever is in charge for Wister over by reliance medical center near to 90 needs to be terminate it they are not doing their jobs

Matt S: You can request just about anything through the online portal (potholes, broken signs, etc.)

Christi Berry: Everyone is very helpful there to assist you physically
