Salem trash & bulky-item rules

Salem regulates solid waste through six franchised haulers rather than one City-run bulky-item schedule. Residents should use the City’s Find Your Hauler tool to identify the provider for their service area and then confirm that hauler’s bulky-item price and appointment rules.

Before set-out

Use the City utility-provider page or Find Your Hauler tool, then contact that hauler for the current bulky-item process. Do not assume another Salem neighborhood has the same provider or price.

Confirm the service address and the agency or hauler responsible for it.
