Fitchburg Extends Landfill Sticker Deadline to September 30 as Italian Festa Opens Saturday

The 2026 Italian Festa kicks off Saturday, June 27, giving residents a weekend community anchor just as the city quietly extended a key household convenience — yearly landfill stickers are now valid through September 30.

TOWN HALL

The city's homepage is carrying an emergency alert notice that yearly landfill stickers have been extended to September 30. No additional details on the reason for the extension were posted, but residents who held stickers set to expire earlier in the season now have extra time to use the transfer station.

The city is also publicizing a Notice of the Declaration of the Organization of the Fitchburg Tourism Destination Marketing District, a formal step in establishing a structure that can direct tourism promotion dollars for the city. A separate notice — posted in Spanish as "Cambios en el Lugar de Votación" — signals upcoming changes to a voting location; residents who vote at the affected site should check fitchburgma.gov for specifics before their next election.

Downtown infrastructure work is also ongoing, with the city's InTown Downtown Infrastructure Updates page continuing to carry project information for residents and businesses navigating construction in the core of the city.

COMMUNITY & ARTS

The 2026 Italian Festa is listed on the city's community calendar for Saturday, June 27. No venue or hours were posted in the available source text, but the event is a fixture on Fitchburg's summer calendar.
