Summit Neighborhood Association

Hi All,

We've received the SNA Spring newsletters from the printer. Hot off the presses, as they say!

In addition to our regular group of intrepid deliverers, we still have five delivery routes needing coverage. These include routes around:

* 11th, 12th, and Top Street

* Brenton Ave, Boylston, Ave, and Montague St

* Elmgrove Ave from Blackstone Blvd south to Rochambeau & Intervale Rd.

* 8th St to 11th St, Highland to North Main

* Hope St from 5th to 9th

Each route shouldn't take more than 90 minutes, at the most, and is a great reason to take a walk in the neighborhood.

If you are able to help us with any of these routes, please let me know ASAP.

This is a wonderful way to do community building work, and it would really help us out!

Good morning!

I am reaching out on behalf of the Department of Sustainability to let you know that new trash and recycling carts will be delivered to parts of your neighborhood over the next two to three weeks, beginning on Monday, 3/16! I’ve attached a delivery map with the areas that carts will be arriving highlighted. It will take two to three weeks to complete deliveries in these areas, then we’ll move onto the next set of delivery routes. Please share the map widely with your constituents. We’ll also share with City Councilors and on our social media accounts each Friday. Each week, we’ll send you an updated map if parts of your ward are within the delivery areas.

We’d really appreciate if you could share this key messaging alongside the map:

Delivery Period: March-June 2026
Learn when it’s your turn at: www.providenceri.gov/carts
New & Old Carts will be swapped on one of your normal trash collection days.
When it’s your turn, place ALL of your carts out, even if they’re empty, and leave them there until at least 6 p.m.
Swap won’t be simultaneous. Removal could happen in the morning and delivery in the afternoon, or vice versa.
If you didn’t get your new carts, the right number of carts, and/or your old carts weren’t removed, please fill out a missed delivery form or call 3-1-1 and the City will work to resolve your issue within 48 hours.

Please let us know at any time if you have specific questions or concerns that we can help address, I’ve copied several colleagues here that can answer more specific questions.
