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.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the residential sanitation service for a qualifying property. A load beyond what the city treats as routine, including demolition, renovation and remodeling debris, has to be disposed of by the homeowner, who can deliver it to the Salem or Tinker Creek transfer stations under the resource authority's rules.
When & how
Set the qualifying pile at the curb or the normal collection site on the scheduled collection day, and expect the collection on a normal waste collection day or at the earliest scheduled time.
Get it ready
Keep the load routine in size and type. The page's collectible 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, while the remnants of a remodeled bathroom or kitchen, an entire backyard of broken fencing, a houseful of bad carpet, multiple cut trees and eviction material beyond the pickup truck limit are not the city's responsibility.
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.
City cost & eligibility
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.
When & how
Prepare the unit, then set it at the curb or the normal collection site on the scheduled collection day, clear of overhead obstructions.
Get it ready
Remove or secure the door on any appliance large enough to trap a child so the door cannot close, empty the unit, and have the gas evacuated from anything that can hold compressed gas, all before it goes to the curb. Keep the appliance out of a pile that also contains prohibited material such as fuel cans, gas cylinders or vehicle parts.
Set the pile at the curb of the property that generated it, or at the normal collection site, clear of overhead obstructions, on the scheduled collection day. 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.
Waste from work that needed a building permit, waste generated by a contractor or a paid worker, 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 are all barred from bulk collection. Prohibited material must not be set out in a way that signals a need for collection.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
City of Salem Sanitation Division inside Street and General Maintenance, with the Roanoke Valley Resource Authority
Put routine bulk at the curb
A Salem household with furniture, an appliance, residential yard waste or another routine item too large for the tote.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Included in the city residential sanitation service, with no separate curbside charge published for routine bulk. Every single-family home in the city qualifies, and so does a multi-family property that uses city sanitation for its normal scheduled collection.
Arrange it
Set the pile at the curb of the property that generated it, or at the normal collection site, clear of overhead obstructions, on the scheduled collection day.
Demolition, renovation and remodeling debris is outside the service, permitted work and contractor waste are the contractor's or owner's responsibility, appliances have to meet the door, emptying and gas conditions, and the prohibited materials list applies.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Appliance removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Salem.
How much does appliance removal cost in Salem?+
A full-size household refrigerator is $109 as a single item. A washing machine is $109, and a dryer is $109. Other appliances have their own catalog prices. Choose each item to see your exact total before booking; disposal and recycling costs are included in the item price.
Can I get same-day appliance pickup in Salem?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Your pickup is scheduled for a day rather than an exact arrival appointment, and we text you before arrival. Have the appliance disconnected and ready outside by your pickup readiness time.
Can you take a washing machine and dryer in one pickup?+
Yes. Add one Washing machine and one Dryer so both units are included in the price. They are separate items, even when you bought them as a set. If yours is a single combined unit or the machines still need to be unstacked, contact us before booking to confirm the scope.
Will you disconnect my appliance or carry it out?+
Dropcurb picks up appliances that are already disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange uninstallation, utility disconnection and indoor carrying before pickup. Use a qualified professional for gas, hardwired or plumbing connections when needed. We handle loading and haul-away from the outdoor pickup spot.
Can I book if the delivery company did not take my old appliance?+
Yes. Dropcurb pickup is separate from buying or installing a replacement, so you can book removal on its own. Select the old appliance, choose a pickup day and arrange for it to be disconnected and accessible outside. If your new delivery is still ahead, confirm the retailer’s haul-away arrangements before booking a separate pickup.
What counts as Salem bulk waste?+
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
How do I put a refrigerator or stove out in Salem?+
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
What does Salem charge for trash and bulk pickup?+
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
What will Salem not take at the curb?+
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
Who runs sanitation in Salem?+
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.
