Wakefield rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Wakefield, dumpsters are not allowed on the public way under Board of Health rules, and every temporary dumpster needs a Board of Health permit.
Wakefield's Board of Health dumpster rules keep dumpsters off the public way, require a Board of Health permit for every temporary dumpster (for 90 days or less), and bar filling a dumpster between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. The town's traffic rules limit street parking to one hour between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m. and bar parking next to a street obstruction that would block traffic. The town says it no longer has an all-night winter parking ban but may impose one during snow or weather emergencies, and resident parking passes are issued online.
