City of Salem issued the following announcement on Jan. 12
Street Department crews will continue to collect loose leaves at the curbside on their normal runs through January 21, 2022.
From January 24 through March 11, crews will collect leaves on an "as needed" basis ONLY. During this time period, residents must notify the Street Department at 375-3039, in order to schedule a loose leaf pick-up time.
The City has invested in automated leaf trucks to make this process quicker and more efficient, however, these machines cannot handle sticks, branches, twigs, stumps, logs, lumber, garbage or any other debris which can cause damage to the vehicle. We will not collect leaf piles with other materials in them! Please keep your brush, garbage and leaf piles separated.
Also, please DO NOT have leaves covering your water meter.
Thanks for doing your part to make this a smooth process for all.
