Salem, MA trash pickup by address.

Trash / garbage: Thursday.

Thursday is what one Salem address returned on October 26, 2026.

Trash goes to the curb by 7 am on pickup day and no earlier than 6 pm the night before.

Only the city-issued toter or city orange overflow bags count as valid containers, and overflow bags must be out before 7 am.

Place trash at the curb by 7 a.m. the day of pickup, and not before 6 p.m. the night preceding collection.

You must only use the city-issued toter or city orange overflow bags.

Orange overflow bags should be placed curbside before 7 a.m. the morning of your pickup rather than the night before.
