The City of Salem currently has a trash contract with Northside Carting, which runs through June 2008.  City neighborhoods receive pick up on a daily basis, per a pre-arranged schedule.  Trash may be left out at 6 pm the night before pick-up and must be in covered, rodent proof containers.  If trash is left out the morning of pick up, it may be in plastic bags; however the consumer is responsible for any animals disturbing trash (see link for trash regulations and hazardous items).  Recycling is picked up every other week. You can find the recycling schedule on the Salem website, along with a listing of items that can and can’t be re-cycled.

Last Fall the City implemented a trash fee with commercial residences and non-owner occupied homes and condos.  This Department also processes associated bills, usually the first week of the month.
