You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.
Filled bags and boxes
Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.
Empty cardboard and containers
Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.
Furniture and other larger items
Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

The local hauler picks up mattresses as junk or bulky items, with limitations and pricing from the hauler.
City cost & eligibility
The association names mattresses among the junk and bulky items its member haulers collect and tells residents to contact the local hauler for the acceptable materials and disposal fees, and rates are set by local government within the franchise, so ask the hauler for the price.
When & how
Contact the hauler that serves the address through the association's Find My Hauler tool and schedule the mattress pickup, since the hauler runs the route rather than the city.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress out of the regular garbage cart, ask the hauler about any item limitation before it goes out, and reuse or donate the piece first if it is in good condition.
Furniture is named among the junk and bulky items the local hauler collects from the home.
City cost & eligibility
Furniture is on the association's junk and bulky item list, and the hauler sets the item price within the government-set rate structure, so contact the hauler for limitations and pricing.
When & how
Find the hauler for the address and arrange the pickup directly with that company, because the hauler already runs the neighbourhood route.
Get it ready
Keep furniture out of the garbage cart, ask about any item limitation before the pickup, and consider donating the piece if it is still usable.
Appliances are collected by the local hauler as junk, and the transfer station also takes them for a fee.
City cost & eligibility
The hauler collects appliances as a junk item with its own item price, while the Salem/Keizer transfer station lists appliances with a fee note but prints no amount, so confirm the charge with the hauler or call the station at 503-588-5169.
When & how
Ask the local hauler to pick the appliance up, or take it to the Salem/Keizer Recycling and Transfer Station at 3250 Deerpark Rd SE, open 7 days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed major holidays.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, keep it out of the garbage cart, and tell the hauler or the station if the appliance contains refrigerant so the right handling and fee apply.
Electronics go to the hauler or to the Salem/Keizer transfer station, which lists electronics and computer components.
City cost & eligibility
The transfer station lists electronics and computer components among its accepted items while noting a fee for appliances and yard waste, but it prints no amounts, so confirm the electronics charge with the station at 503-588-5169 or with the local hauler.
When & how
Ask the hauler to collect the electronics, or take them to the Salem/Keizer Recycling and Transfer Station at 3250 Deerpark Rd SE, open 7 days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed major holidays.
Get it ready
Clear personal data before handover, keep electronics out of the garbage cart, and note that batteries, fluorescent tubes and bulbs are separately listed at the transfer station.
Contractors and residents take construction and demolition loads to Re:Source rather than to a landfill.
City cost & eligibility
The association tells contractors to skip the landfill and haul construction and demolition loads to Re:Source for material recovery and disposal, and the facility asks callers to confirm accepted materials and fees, so call Re:Source at 503-390-4000 for the price.
When & how
Take the load to Re:Source at 3680 Brooklake Rd NE in Salem, open Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., or arrange a drop box through the local hauler for a larger project.
Get it ready
Keep construction material out of the garbage cart, sort what the facility asks for, and confirm the accepted materials and fees before the load leaves the site.
Exercise equipment is not named on the junk item list, so the hauler has to confirm it.
City cost & eligibility
The association's junk and bulky item list names extra bagged garbage, appliances, electronics, mattresses, furniture, tires, batteries and paint and does not name exercise equipment, so call the local hauler and confirm whether the machine can be collected and what it costs.
When & how
Call the hauler for the address before the machine goes out, and book the pickup only once the item and the price are confirmed.
Get it ready
Break the machine down where you can, keep it out of the garbage cart, and remove any battery before it goes out.
The local hauler collects junk and bulky items from the home, with limitations and prices quoted by the hauler.
City cost & eligibility
The association says the local hauler offers junk removal from the home or business and lists extra bagged garbage, appliances, electronics, mattresses, furniture, tires, batteries and paint, and it tells residents to contact the hauler for acceptable materials and disposal fees, so ask the hauler for the price.
When & how
Use the association's Find My Hauler tool to identify the company for the address, then schedule the junk or bulky pickup directly with that hauler.
Get it ready
Keep bulky items and extra bagged garbage separate from the recycling and organics carts, confirm any item limitation with the hauler, and keep sharps to the separate at-the-door service with an FDA cleared container.
Salem operates under a Marion County waste franchise system in which eight individually owned companies are contracted to serve specific areas, and the franchise agreement sets the service levels, pricing and performance standards while local governments regulate the fees. Residents use the association's Find My Hauler tool to identify their company, and the city lists D&O Garbage & Recycling, Loren's Sanitation & Recycling, Pacific Sanitation, Republic Services, Suburban Garbage Services and Valley Recycling & Disposal among the participating haulers.
Weekly garbage and bi-weekly recycling come in three cart packages
Residential service packages are offered at 20, 35 and 65 gallons, each pairing a trash roll cart with a 95 gallon mixed recycling cart, and the services included with garbage service are weekly garbage pickup, bi-weekly mixed recycling pickup and, where available, bi-weekly red bin recycling pickup and weekly organic waste pickup. Sharps can be collected at the door on the regular weekly collection day, with an FDA cleared container available on request.
Self-haul loads go to the neighbourhood depots or the transfer station
Area transfer stations, Re:Source and the haulers' own facilities take household waste and recyclables, and the Salem/Keizer Recycling and Transfer Station at 3250 Deerpark Rd SE is open 7 days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., closed major holidays, taking yard waste and appliances with a fee, electronics, computer components, car and household batteries, fluorescent tubes and bulbs, glass, cardboard, paper, plastic bottles and jugs, cans, scrap metal, used motor oil, used cooking oil and bicycles. Re:Source at 3680 Brooklake Rd NE handles recyclables and construction and demolition loads for material recovery and disposal.

Set up service with the franchised hauler for your address
A Salem household that needs garbage, mixed recycling, organics or medical waste collection.
Cost & conditions
The franchise agreement leaves rates with local government and each hauler bills its own service level, and no rate table is printed in the readable pages, so use the Find My Hauler tool and ask the hauler for current rates.
Arrange it
Find the company for the address through the association tool, choose a 20, 35 or 65 gallon package, and ask about the optional red bin recycling and weekly organics where they are available.
Residents do not choose their own hauler because the franchise assigns territory, the association does not control the price, and the red bin recycling and organics services are not available in every area.
A household with mattresses, furniture, appliances, electronics, tires, batteries or paint to clear.
Cost & conditions
The association names the common items but says to contact the local hauler for the full list of acceptable materials and the disposal fees, so ask the hauler for the price of the load.
Arrange it
Call the hauler that serves the address, confirm the item limitations and the price, and schedule the pickup from the home or business.
