Storm update from Town Manager Michael Maresco: Morning of September 27, 2026
We are more than half way through the Nor'easter and the select Board and I want to thank Abington's DPW for minimizing the flooding I think we had three downed trees overnight but none causing major issues our town with keeping our catch basins clean and removing the trees as they came down.
Special thanks to our police and fire departments for their work on keeping our residents safe around the downed trees, wires and need to close roads while the trees were removed and the fire department for transports during the storm and checking on our residents who needed assistance. We have the best public safety departments on the South Shore. Be safe and enjoy your Sunday!
Abington Compost Site will be closed on this Saturday, September 26, 2026, due to the Nor'easter. Sorry for any inconvenience this might cause. The Compost site will reopen on October 3, 2026.
🏡 A Neighborly Reminder from the Town of Abington
Every week, hundreds of households place their trash curbside for collection. A few simple steps can help ensure pickup goes smoothly for everyone:
✔️ Place all trash inside your barrel
✔️ Make sure the lid closes completely
✔️ Break down larger items so they fit inside
✔️ Do not leave extra bags or materials next to the container
Following these guidelines helps our contractor collect trash safely and efficiently while keeping neighborhoods clean and attractive.
Thank you for being a great neighbor and helping make Abington a cleaner community.
