Beautiful people alert! Look at those smiles! And what's not to smile about when you're with your friends having fun and eating great food at our gorgeous, seaside Stage Fort Park? We had another great SeniorCare Inc. Cookout today with burgers and dogs and all the yummy sides you could ask for. Our thanks to Mayor Paul Lundberg, City of Gloucester for joining us with his awesome staff and to Rep. Dru Tarr and Nina Testaverde Goodick for helping serve the food. We're grateful, as always, to our hard working COA staff Natalia, Tiffany, Michael, Michelle, Juni, and Jennifer-Lee and to our amazing volunteers Fred, Christine, and Tom and to Lummy and Jayne for holding down the fort at Rose Baker. Huge thanks also to Dave Quinn and the GHS Golf Team for setting up our tables and chairs. What a day!

Attention Residents - Trash Update!

We know that you all have been patiently waiting for information about our new trash contract. We can finally let you know that it has been signed and is official, and we are kicking off our Bags to Bins change!

Gloucester has contracted with Casella for our new waste management plan. The purple bags are no longer going to be accepted, and residents will be getting their own carts that work with the new mechanical-arm trucks.

For a full overview of the new plan and changes, check out our website: https://gloucester-ma.gov/trash
