City Of Salem Fall Street Sweeping Schedule

Press release from the City of Salem:

August 26, 2021

Salem Mayor Kim Driscoll today announced that fall street sweeping will begin in residential neighborhoods on Monday, August 30 through Monday, September 27 and will continue on Salem’s entrance corridors beginning on Tuesday, September 29 and running through Thursday, October 7.

Residential neighborhood sweeping will continue to take place on both sides of the street on the same day. Sweeping will take place from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. As we have done in the past, each neighborhood route will be posted with temporary ‘No Parking/Tow Zone’ signs and parking will be prohibited between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Neighborhood streets are broken down into four zones. Sweep days are the next day after the regularly scheduled trash day. To find a specific street sweeping date, locate what zone your street is in on the 2021 Fall Street Sweeping Schedule and match it with the calendar. Monday sweep schedules are for the preceding Friday's trash day. Street sweeping schedules can be found at www.salem.com/streetsweeping, at the DPS office on 5 Jefferson Avenue, City Hall, and the Salem Public Library. There is also a searchable map online at www.salem.com/streetsweeping. Please note there will be NO sweeping on Monday, September 6. This neighborhood will be swept on Monday, September 27.

Residents will be able to use entrance corridor streets as alternative parking areas on the day of their neighborhood sweep. Entrance corridor streets are Boston St., Bridge St., Essex St. (from Boston St. to North/Summer St.), Lafayette St. (from Derby St. to Marblehead line), Loring Ave., and North St. Once a neighborhood street is swept, residents will be able to move their vehicles back onto their street.

For a complete list of parking alternatives go to www.salem.com/streetsweeping. Please remember if you choose to move your vehicle to an entrance corridor street that you must adhere to all current parking restrictions and metered rates on these entrance corridors, including resident only parking restrictions.

The last entrance corridor sweeping for the season will take place Tuesday, September 28 through Thursday, October 7. Each entrance corridor will be swept over a period of two consecutive days which will alternate between the odd and even side of the streets. Each corridor will be posted with temporary ‘No Parking/Tow Zone’ signs and parking will be prohibited between the hours of 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. You can find the 2021 entrance corridor sweeping schedule at www.salem.com/streetsweeping.

The last downtown sweep will take place on Wednesday, September 15, and the last two Point neighborhood sweeps will take place on September 13 and September 27.

Certain weather conditions prohibit the use of the street sweepers: during moderate to heavy rainfall and extreme cold temperatures sweepers will not be able to operate. Weather cancellations will be posted on www.salem.com.
