Spring has sprung .. so let me count the ways I love spring! Longer warmer days, gardens start to bloom and no more heavy coats and sweaters! I embrace change and spring is a perfect example of how change can be so inspiring! Change is happening here at the Center.

The Department of Public Works is asking for each household's assistance! Westwood's recycling contamination has increased significantly. We have been fortunate through both resident's efforts and Town negotiations to avoid the impact of a contamination charge for a while. Based on the results of our most recent audit, additional contamination charges will be applied if we do not correct this immediately. With the help of each resident, we are certain we can decrease and eliminate recycling contamination. Watch the DPW's PSA for important information.
