Don’t snooze on recycling that old mattress!

Per new state regulations, mattresses and box springs can no longer be disposed of as trash and instead must be recycled.

Curbside Recycling Rules

To reduce trash tonnage in the City of Salem by increasing recycling, diverting reusable items, and motivating city stakeholders through education and information.

From book swaps to repair cafes to textile drives, we're creating spaces that empower our community members to live waste-free lives.

Providing community members with the resources to understand how to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
