Salem Neighborhood Street Sweeping To Run Thorugh Early December

SALEM, MA — Residential street sweeping begins in Salem this week and runs through early December with temporary no-parking restrictions and tow zones in effect.

Sweeping will take place from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day with neighborhoods broken down into four zones. Sweep days are usually the next day after the regularly scheduled trash day with Monday sweeping scheduled for streets with a Friday trash day.

Sweeping is set to conclude on Dec. 6 with delays possible because of rain or extreme cold.

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 Street, Bridge Street, Essex Street (from Boston Street to North/Summer Street), Lafayette Street (from Derby Street to Marblehead line), Loring Avenue, and North Street.

Once a neighborhood street is swept, residents will be able to move their vehicles back onto their street.

Existing parking restrictions, such as resident-only, must be adhered to for alternative parking streets or vehicles will be subject to being ticketed or towed.

Zone information and sweeping schedules can be found here or at the DPS office on 5 Jefferson Avenue, City Hall, and the Salem Public Library.
