The Lynn Department of Public Works is responsible for overseeing and providing the citizens of Lynn with a wide variety of daily services. From roadway and sidewalk construction to trash pick-up, park maintenance and snow plowing, the DPW works to efficiently meet the needs of its constituents -- the Citizens of Lynn.

We take great pride in our efforts to provide, improve and expand upon a level of public services that affect your everyday life and the quality of life in Lynn.
