On private property, a driveway or a paved lot is the usual place for a container in West Springfield. Keep it off the sidewalk and away from storm drains.
For the street, and for any local hauler requirement, the Town's own rules are not quoted here. West Springfield's town website refuses automated requests, including the file that tells crawlers what is allowed, and the Town's bylaws are published through a service that asks automated tools not to read them. So no Town rule on placement or haulers is stated, and nothing is assumed either way.
That gap matters more in Massachusetts than in most states. Many Massachusetts communities permit waste haulers through the local Board of Health, and some add their own container, fire or zoning rules, which differ from one town to the next. Your account manager confirms with the Town of West Springfield, including the Board of Health, what applies before a container is booked.
Some roads through West Springfield are state highways, and a container facing one can need state approval as well as the Town's.
