Couch & furniture removal in SalemCity collection Furniture is named in the city's bulk definition, and carpet appears in the bulk page's own examples of collectible material, so a couch or a room of carpet goes out with the routine curbside bulk service. No charge. Included in the residential sanitation service for a qualifying single-family home, or a multi-family property that uses city sanitation for its normal scheduled collection. A load that is beyond routine, such as a houseful of carpet or an eviction set larger than a pickup truck, is not the city's responsibility.

Mattress & bed removal in SalemCity collection A mattress is not named in the city's bulk definition, its collectible examples or its prohibited list, so the published route is the routine bulk service but the piece itself has to be confirmed with the Sanitation Division. No mattress rule or mattress fee is published, and routine bulk waste carries no separate charge, so call the Sanitation Division on 540-375-3071 and ask whether the mattress is collected as routine bulk at the curb or whether the load has to go to a transfer station instead. The division's own page states that a household may be required to arrange disposal depending on the quantity or type of debris.

Appliance pickup in SalemCity collection Appliances are named in the city's bulk definition, with three published conditions: an appliance large enough to trap a child must have its door removed or secured so it cannot close, the unit has to be empty, and anything capable of holding compressed gas must have the gas evacuated before collection. No charge. Included in the residential sanitation service as routine bulk waste for a qualifying property, with no separate charge published. A unit that does not meet the door, emptying and gas conditions is not collectible in that state.

The local disposal guide
Salem collects for itself. The Sanitation Division runs five semi-automated garbage trucks, two front-loading dumpster trucks, a brush chipper and a knuckle boom crane, and it picks up normal residential brush and bulk items at the street as part of the routine service: appliances, furniture, residential yard waste and other material too large for the totes are all in the bulk definition, and a qualifying pile goes out on a normal collection day. Two lines matter. The service is not for demolition, renovation or remodeling debris, and anything a contractor or a paid worker produced is the contractor's responsibility, as is any job that needed a city building permit. Appliances carry their own conditions, because a unit big enough to trap a child needs its door removed or secured, the unit has to be empty, and anything that can hold compressed gas has to have the gas evacuated. Everything outside the curbside program has a route through the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority, which gives Salem households twelve free drop-offs a calendar year across the Salem and Tinker Creek transfer stations, takes the listed household chemicals at Tinker Creek during normal hours, and runs a wider collection there on the third Saturday of each month by registration.

The Sanitation Division collects residential totes and picks up normal residential brush and bulk items placed at the street as part of the routine service. Bulk material that qualifies and is too large for a tote goes out on a normal collection day or at the earliest scheduled time.
Bulk waste is defined as material too large for the normal containers, such as appliances, furniture, residential yard waste and other debris, and the city treats that material as regular or routine residential solid waste rather than as a special service. The bulk page gives its own examples of what is collectible and what is not the city's responsibility.
Furniture is named in the city's bulk definition, and carpet appears in the bulk page's own examples of collectible material, so a couch or a room of carpet goes out with the routine curbside bulk service.
Appliances are named in the city's bulk definition, with three published conditions: an appliance large enough to trap a child must have its door removed or secured so it cannot close, the unit has to be empty, and anything capable of holding compressed gas must have the gas evacuated before collection.
A mattress is not named in the city's bulk definition, its collectible examples or its prohibited list, so the published route is the routine bulk service but the piece itself has to be confirmed with the Sanitation Division.
Electronics are not named in the bulk policy, the sanitation page, the recycling page or the hazardous waste page, and the city's three recycling drop-offs take only cardboard, plastics numbered one and two, cans, mixed paper and newspaper, so a screen or a computer has to be confirmed.
Demolition, renovation and remodeling debris is outside the bulk service, waste from work that needed a city building permit is not collectible, and anything a contractor or a paid worker produced is that person's responsibility. The bulk page also routes building debris to the Building Inspector's Office to determine whether a permit is required.
Tires are not named in the bulk definition, in the collectible examples or in the prohibited list, and the city's recycling drop-offs do not take them, so the piece has to be confirmed with the division or the authority.
The city runs three full-service recycling drop-off centers, one in east Salem, one in the west end and one behind City Hall, and they take cardboard, plastics numbered one and two, bi-metal and aluminum cans, mixed paper and newspaper, with large amounts of corrugated cardboard also accepted at 1271 Indiana Street. The city states that it does not currently accept glass recyclables.
Salem joined the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority in 2016, and residents can use the Salem Transfer Station at 1271 Indiana Street and the Tinker Creek Transfer Station at 1020 Hollins Road NE in Roanoke for brush or items that will not fit the tote, with twelve free drop-offs in a calendar year counted across both sites. Latex paint, aerosol cans, lead acid car batteries, used antifreeze and used motor oil are taken at Tinker Creek during normal hours, and a wider range of items is taken there on the third Saturday of each month by registration.
Exercise equipment is not named in the bulk definition, the collectible examples or the prohibited list, so a treadmill or weight machine is confirmed with the Sanitation Division before it goes to the curb.
The handoff matters
Put the tote at the street by 5:30 in the morning on the scheduled collection day and take it back by 7 the next morning, keeping it beside or behind the principal building in between. Anything left in the vicinity of the tote may be thrown away, so keep the area clear of what you want to keep. Moving households leave the tote at the address and call to have one delivered to the new home.

Appliances need the door removed or secured, the unit emptied and any gas evacuated; the collectible examples on the city page are a broken toilet or storm door, a section of fencing, a room of carpet, branches no longer than six feet and clean-out items that would fit in a pickup truck bed.

Material too large for the normal totes or dumpsters, such as appliances, furniture, residential yard waste and other debris, which the city treats as regular or routine residential solid waste. The page's own examples are a broken toilet or storm door, a section of busted fencing, a room of dirty carpet, pruned tree branches no longer than six feet, and basement or attic clean-out items that would fit in a pickup truck bed. Demolition, renovation and remodeling debris is outside the service.Official guidance
Yes, as routine bulk waste. Furniture is named in the city's own bulk definition and carpet is one of the page's collectible examples, so the piece goes to the curb of the property that generated it on the scheduled collection day, clear of overhead obstructions. Keep the load within the routine size the page describes, because a houseful of carpet or an eviction set larger than a pickup truck is not the city's responsibility.Official guidance
Appliances are routine bulk waste, so the unit goes to the curb on the scheduled collection day once it meets the city's three conditions: the door is removed or secured so it cannot close if the unit is large enough to trap a child, the unit is empty, and any gas it can hold has been evacuated. Keep it clear of overhead obstructions and out of a pile with prohibited material such as gas cylinders, fuel cans or vehicle parts.Official guidance
Confirm it with the Sanitation Division on 540-375-3071 first, because a mattress is not named in the city's bulk definition, its collectible examples or its prohibited list. Furniture and other large debris are routine bulk waste, so the mattress may qualify as routine bulk at the curb, but the division states that a household may be required to arrange disposal depending on the quantity or type of debris, and the transfer stations take items that will not fit the tote.Official guidance
Confirm the route first, because the city publishes no electronics rule and the three recycling drop-offs take only cardboard, plastics numbered one and two, cans, mixed paper and newspaper. Call the Sanitation Division on 540-375-3071 about routine bulk collection, or call the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority on 540-857-5050 about what the Salem and Tinker Creek transfer stations accept and what the third Saturday collection events at Tinker Creek take.Official guidance
Routine residential collection, brush and bulk waste are part of the city sanitation service and no separate curbside charge is published, so a qualifying pile costs nothing beyond the service the household already has. The transfer stations are free for a Salem household for a total of twelve drop-offs a calendar year across the Salem and Tinker Creek sites, the listed household chemicals are taken without a published charge during normal hours, and registering for a third Saturday collection event at Tinker Creek is free. Any amount beyond that structure is confirmed with the Sanitation Division on 540-375-3071 or the authority on 540-857-5050.Official guidance
Demolition, renovation and remodeling debris, waste from work that needed a building permit, waste generated by a contractor or anyone paid to do a job, land clearing debris on unimproved residential property, dirt, rock and masonry debris, stumps, hazardous materials, gas cylinders, fuel tanks, fuel cans, barrels, items too large to be handled safely, items used in an industrial or commercial process and vehicle parts. The city also states that prohibited material must not be set out in a way that signals a need for collection.Official guidance
The Sanitation Division inside Street and General Maintenance, which operates the city's own trucks and chipper and picks up routine brush and bulky items at the street. The division is at 1228 Indiana Street and answers on 540-375-3071, with working hours from 6 in the morning to 2:30 in the afternoon and phone hours from 7 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon, while Street and General Maintenance answers recycling questions on 540-375-3039. Everything outside the curbside program runs through the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority on 540-857-5050.Official guidance
At one of the city's three full-service drop-off centers: 1271 Indiana Street in east Salem across from Street and General Maintenance near the dog park, the west end of the Walmart parking lot on West Main Street, and 114 N Broad Street in the parking lot behind City Hall near Roanoke College. They take cardboard, plastics numbered one and two, bi-metal and aluminum cans, mixed paper and newspaper, with large amounts of corrugated cardboard also accepted on Indiana Street, and the city states that glass is not currently accepted. Plastic bags have to stay out of the bins.Official guidance
